Zeitgeist, I have a few mods on my B. I have a link of a drive I did at night a few years back. You can hear the supercharger a few times through the video if your speakers are decent. I listed what I did to it in the description of the video.

Nice. Some of the comments reminded me of one of the funniest things I ever saw, a fully blown mini taking on a '68 Z/28 Camaro (the year was either 68 or 9 when this occured) on a Boulevard in Coral Gables. They were both winding when they went by creating what sounded like a flight of angry bumble bees.
Next funniest thing? Drags featuring a VW and a fueled Vette. The Bug was staged about half way down the track an still lost.
My stick shift story from the other thread ? Driving my '55 TR2 when the slave cylinder died. Yes, you can start it in gear, but, first gear didn't have syncro. You had to just jump it off with the starter, and, powershifting is not for the feint of heart but can be done.
My old B only had headers and Abarth exhaust plus fully jetted SU's without the antiback fire throttle plates . It was still plenty peppy.
May have to look at that B I saw when I sell the 'Cuda.
But I an also thinking about doing a "battery operated" VW Thing.
