get a c20let instead

You'd have very little room for one in the bay as said above, buy a c20let for the same money you'd spend on a SC conversion. More power when you want it then, providing you have deep pockets.

C20LET would be the easiest way to go.
A DIY supercharger kit maybe possible, and could cost half of what a LET conversion would possibly cost, but the LET conversion is straight forward, and the supercharger will be more trial and error, trying to get it to run properly
Id go down the LET route

Is it something you would do yourself? if not contact any of the reputable vauxhall tuners and see what they have to offer

Throttle bodies on a V6 will cost alot more than an LET conversion.You would probably need to cut a massive hole in the bonnet too.
Supercharger can be done, but iirc, Specky with the Tigra was fitting 1 to a V6 Astravan and wasn't having much luck.

Mainly just the bottom end.
Or you could fit 3.0 cams and a 3.8 bar FPR.

It's possible as there's a project in the appropriate section where a chap from Poland was building one, but he had to sell it in the end so can't remember how far he got with it. Check it out though - you might pick up ideas or decide whether to try it or not.

Can I just ask, why does it matter how much it is to insure it? He's asking about a super charger not bloody insurance

Because its more than likely not declared and no one wants him to crash into them when he is gunning it to impress 15 year olds, therefore making them out of pocket.
