    He breaks VWs and has had/has loads of different user names on Ebay, some of his feedback has been a bit poor to say the least [8(]

    TBH I'd go somewhere more reputable, such as G Werks, the prices arn't that much different and you can't cut corners with G-Lader rebuilds or recon units, they are fragile enough as it is :lol:

    yeah gwerks/pitstop can be fully trusted so why chance it somewhere else

    i noticed his rebuild description sounds a bit bogus too...."coating type and 3" "ajust syncro"...and something about apex strip ratio....wonder what thats about?

    I wondered the same, I concluded that he is probably trying to blind people with science to make it sound as though he does stuff the other G-Lader specialists don't :)

    Just seen your post. I bought a mk2 bonnet for 20.00 off ebay. I went to pick it up and although a bit difficult to find the item was in mint condition and included sound proofing 100% intact. However not so sure would spend hundreds with them also dont like people using different ebay names which they have done. Curently down as vortechsportsltd since may 07 feedback generally good, negative very often for very small value items. They dont accept paypal which is a concern. Their unit was full of vw parts and some cars in various stages of build or dismantle-dont know which!

    I've met these guys, bought some leccy windows for my mk2 and ended up being a catalogue of errors. They've got a place full of cool bits, but seem to be a pair of dodgy stoners! Again it's weird they don't accept paypal and have different ebay accounts.
    I personally wouldn't have anything to do with them...

    cant remember....?
    bought a complete 9a lump off them, a mk2 magnex 4 branch and a stealth shelf. Had no problems with them personally, they were sound, but there is stories going around and lets face it, theres only one reason you have to use multiple names and accounts on ebay. Wouldnt go there for mechanical work but as breakers they are alright.

    Not bad for parts, although located in a snyde kinda place - got a single wiper conv. off them which worked fine.
    The ebay feedback leaves a little to be desired tho.

    the reason why we have used different accounts is because bidders do not pay for their items ,wen we send them a strike thet get in a mood and hence negative feedback ,and ebay does'nt like it if sellers have more than ten negative so they shut us down ,if you notice negative are only for couple of squids.
    we have sold well over 50 superchargers last year, with only 3minor problems due to customers fitting them wrongly, some of these are selling for under 500 and are all done by someoe with 15yrs experience in this field, all your feedback has been noted and thnx for the stoner comment! lol cheers vortech sports

    if youre including extra points in the service that others are missing we need to know all about it
