G60 supercharger & other replacements

[DangerDan]

I'm looking into replacements for g60's unless I can find a place to service it regurlary. New ones look like 1600 euro and I've heard about these BBM screw compressor, are they any good, are they a direct replacement?

It looks like Peter Shelley at Canberra VW centre has just installed a Toyota supercharger on his G60 Corrado. Might be a good idea to give him a call and ask some questions.

It will be a great deal easier to stick with the G60, if it is rebuildable now, you can keep it that way. Strip the G60 before blowing any money on replacements. I'll do that for free, just send it to me and I'll have it apart in half an hour and tell you what's what.

I agree with Gavin.
Roots style chargers(toyota) are only 50% efficient.
G-Laders are 60% efficient.
If you fitted a toyota charger you'd be going backwards.

Screw compressors are 80% efficient, but have heard a few "rumours" about unreliability.

steer clear of G60's i would say lol...tho i know that isnt very helpful

Let Gavin have a look at it, and Carl is correct, stick with a G60. I can help you locate one in the uk if need be. second hand ones are between 300-400 pounds (plus shipping)

Bahn Brenner chargers are great, wicked sound (very loud) and great power. I havent heard of them blowing up
