Well ,my Stock G60 is broken... i mean that the housing's are broke but my Displacer is OK.... (can't figured it out...) anyway, i wanna buy a Lysholm or a G60 RS2.
what do you think..which is better,if i buy the Rs2 i'll be running a 72mm pulley(think it's ok),and the Lysholm would be stock too.
The prob is the money i can have a G60 RS2 for $1800 and the Lysholm would be $2300... but i don't wanna have anymore trouble with the damn charger's!!!
What do you guys think....???
By the way i dont want any turbos i hate cars with turbos ....(i'm being bad... sorryy....just kidding)

I've been going over the future as I have been running the G60 quite hard and I was going over the possible replacments for my G60 and I've come up with a few options:
Lysolm (very reliable/solid PSI)
Turbo(Hope you are a wrench, crez wasn't)
sell the G60 engine and get:
1.8T engine swap
TDI engine swap and build the piss out of it
VR6 I don't think so
But then I came down to fact that its more than just and engine or PSI maker and I have decided I would just get another G60 with may be a 70mm and then run NOS as an upgrade
In the world there are many more 1.8T people and the G60 people are a rare rare breed. I'd like to stay where I'm at its worth the pieces.
If it wasn't for the Lysolm's sound I'd go with it. But I think I am a g60 type of guy.

while frank may be a g-60 "type of guy" im more of a "tired of flushing $$ down the toilet on a g-lader thats eventually going to need to be rebuilt or worse, grenade" type of guy.....so i went lysholm. i love it, loud azz whine and all. ive got the 15psi pulley on it, it made it louder, so what? who cares? so i creep thru my neigborhood doing 25mph in fourth gear. so old people and folks in mini-vans pull over to the side of the road for me. ive been spanking the boost monkey hard now for the last 4 months and i have no complaints.
bottom line, if your going to spend upwards of 1800 bones on a reworked charger, go lysholm. more reliable, 2 year warranty, big boost, big torque, big noise, big fun. of course this is just my opinion.....

You can get hold of useable charger housings from Germany, if your displacer is ok.
