jabba may have once been the best place for g60's, but alot of people on this forum have had bad experience with their customer service, so thus, they now have a bad reputation :lol:

Yup, my advice (and only my advice, I only speak from my own bitter experience here!) is to avoid Jabba like the plague if you're after a supercharger rebuild... They just don't want to know and seem to be using sub-standard parts in their rebuilds recently... My charger had less than 14K on it and ALL of the bearings and most of the seals were shot less than 16months (4 of which it'd been off the road!) after a stage 4 rebuild done at Jabba... :| :(

 

G-Werks (Darren) did a rebuild on mine for me and looks to have (I've not opened it! :-P ) done a lovely job on it for a better rate than Jabba was charging and with a whole hell of a lot better after sales too! 8)

there's a overhaul kit on german eBay.

 

Be very very wary of such kits on Ebay. I've often enough read of bad expereinces with those kits on the German Rado forum (often the apex seals are just simple piston seals or of similar material, NOT the required stuff for apex seals).

LOL.. Not unless Jabba are just outside Stuttgart in south Germany. Myself and Liam were shown how to service a charger by a ex 'Jung' (original development/development company) engineer, who is now a good friend, a few years back. Yet again another example of the VW scene 'chineese whisper'.

 

We are based in Littlehampton on the south coast.

Wouldn't be doc aka Wolfgang Zwiesler? Know quite a few of the Corrado Scene Süd folks from around Stuttgart and Karlsruhe (went to a meet there over Xmas in my G60 8)

Stupid question:

 

Where are they (Pitstop Developments) based?

Had a look at the website and there is no address on there. Or at least one that I could spot. Maybe an idea to stick it up there and some directions. Worst thing is you couldn't be much further away from me :cry:

When you opening a northern branch??? Its a 980 mile round trip :cry: :cry: :cry: for me I really didnt want to post the G60 but get the car looked over but darn thats a lot of driving on some of GB's finest roads.

 

Maybe a mobile G60 lab to take up north for a while every year :wink: :wink: :wink:

 

I was actually suggesting the above for your web site (but I guess you got that)
