Title: G40 charger, Whats it worth?
Post by: juan on August 12, 2008, 10:26:07 AM
As above im just wondering what a g40 charger is worth more specifically a freshly rebuilt stage 4 charger with reciept.
I dunno if what im asking on forums is too much or whether its just that poeple dont often need a charger?

Cheers,

Juan

£350 - towards a turbo kit  - turbos on their own are from £50

you can get chinese copy ones new or about £250 yeah, pretty sure genuine ones are more.  But 2nd hand they are cheap.  G40 chargers just aren't as sought after anymore, less cars and the cars are cheaper too so a lot of people who own them don't have or want to spend big money on chargers.

^^ yeah I'd be wary of the quality of those chinese copies too.  But still, you can easily get good 2nd hand KKK K03 turbos for £50 and upwards here in the UK.
