A refurbished G-lader failed recently and being out of warranty, was opened up to see what went wrong. This is what we found[
]
We found repairs to the ends of the apex seal channels, pins inserted, and a G40 oil seal and a crack in the scroll. Any thoughts on how the crack appeared?
Well Mark,
Luckily a Replacement scroll is sended by L&S-Cartec as a sort
of warranty-thing, because of their mis-advertisement claiming it’s
not repaired, stifted, etc. Plus some G40?!? oilseals in it…
I’m waiting on the long top-cut-burrs (from you and chris) for some serious porting and scroll-refinishing to get your old charger up and running, plus the L&S unit also done within time. Pictures will follow soon. In the meantime enjoy the current superb unit from me 
This will get you safe thorough the winter (and some more winters !)
I wonder what it now does on a rolling-road in comparison to the old setup….
Greetings,

Thanks Pascal. Charger with standard pulley and chip are running great especially in this cold weather. The rebuilt 1st charger that came with the car blew an oil seal because the original old oil lines were used. The 2nd charger failed as in picture because the unit was not as described. The rebuilt 1st charger was running ok but the quality of the components were questionable as the apex strips had shrunk badly and one of the oilseals was not a viton one. The bonded in strips fell out when you opened it! I have seen every bit of your charger rebuild with photos and use of components and the modifications so I am very confident all will be well this time[
] I hope to go back to Star Performance when I am off in March to see how the engine compares to the 176 bhp it got last time with the only modification being the exhaust manifold.
