The BBNM kit whines incredibly loudly. Way too much
noise considering the power output.
The replacement turbo kits require *lots* of shakedown
and tweaking to get to work properly.
The rumors of impending supercharger failure on the
G60 corrado's are vastly overstated, and usually by
people who've never even owned one. I built a G60 GTI
and installed a used charger with an unknown number of
miles on it that leaked oil from day one. I had the
"sport" 68mm pulley on it from the beginning. It gave
me over 50k miles before starting to make bearing
noise. I then put on another junkyard charger, again
unknown mileage, with the 68mm pulley and put another
50k miles on it before selling the car.
The stock G60 supercharger will give you easily more
than 100k miles if you take care of it properly.
Replacing them with a new one is a far better choice
than getting them rebuilt. The rebuilds don't seem to
take very well...
