Hey all, am looking for some where reliable and not too far away hopefully ,who do super chargers,either replacement or service and rebuild for a good price?? Anyone in the know?? Am in South Wales , Cardiff area. Mine seems to have a slight ticking noise starting now under acceleration and I'm thinking the worst. Cheers guys
@Gavin jones I am in the U.S. so sad to say I am not much help on who is close. The two people that have good reputations I know of are Lohen and Orranje I don’t know how close they are to your location. I would give Lohen a call first. I am sure they can help. Also you may want to look into replacing it with a TVS 900 it’s a better SC but may cost more. https://www.lohen.co.uk/ https://orranje.co.uk/
True and they do have rebuilt ones you can order then ship back the core. https://www.detroittuned.com/mini-cooper-s-rebuilt-supercharger/ But I know both the places there should be able to help.
@Gavin jones you may want to put a 15% pulley on the SC while your at it for a little more power. Also I would replace the belt tensioner, idler pulley and belt. Check your crank pulley, if the rubber has cracks replace it. You don’t want it to fail, and they do.
It very well be the water pump making the noises you hear. The oil leaks out of it & the gears grind themselves to dust. Good luck sorting it out.
