Supercharged 2 Posted May 10, 2006 Jeez - what mileage was it on / had it been rebuilt? You should be able to pick a second hand one up for about £350 if you look around but that would then need a rebuild... remember it's not just a case of sticking it on tho - the intake system will have to be thoroughly cleaned and you will need to blank off the boost return pipe.

Dude, i've just got mine back from Darren and i'm as chuffed as a dog with two dicks, get it done for peace of mind ( and engine bling-ness :) ) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jam3383 0 Posted May 10, 2006 As far as i know it's done around 25k but it looks like it's done 80k. The cheapest one i could find was on ebay for 700 quid for a reconditioned one. Any of you guys got one in a near by srappy? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jam3383 0 Posted May 10, 2006 The engraved part is my reg, must of been done when sent to jabba. Rang jabba they wanted 1200 quid plus vat and the said they will only supply & fit not just supply the charger. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Walesy 0 Posted May 10, 2006 Not sure about JMR , but G-werks number is on their website : http://www.g-werks.com You'll struggle to find one for £750 though I reckon. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jam3383 0 Posted May 10, 2006 Just rang g werks and spoke to rob and they have got a second hand one which will be serviced for 662 quid delivered. so in a matter of a few post's on here looks like i will have one soon as. :flasingsmile: :flasingsmile: :flasingsmile: :flasingsmile: :flasingsmile: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Supercharged 2 Posted May 10, 2006 jam3383, Superb - thats what it's all about... I'd get a new oil line and boost return kit off them too... I don't think there is a guide but I'd get some advice of Darren if your fitting yourslef - I think the intercooler needs to blown out with an airline and all boost pipes will need to be cleaned...
