The G-Lader is the actual supercharger itself.

Its not a normal 8V engine All that parts in it are beefed up for boost.
There is also a G40 on the VW Polo too. Its just a bit smaller though

It may be smaller but it's a hell of a lot faster!!

Its an 8V engines found in Corado's here in the states. They are also found in Golfs in Europe. The internals are beefed up to take the extra stress of forced induction. The G60 refers to the supercharger. The internal housing of the charger is actually shaped like a G, hence the name.

A very fun engine, but the rado is an effort of love. They spend about as much time at a shop as they do on the road generally, but they are VERY nice cars. My friend has one, haven't ridden in it b/c he had to leave when I got there but it surely sounds sweet! and looked pretty good on the inside.
