Default Supercharger recon/replace

The rotors on my 2005 v8 XJR are looking a bit tired!
all the Teflon coating on the rotors is flaking off. Can anyone suggest a good place to get the unit reconditioned or should I look at a new/used decent condition unit?
based in UK

thanks in adnanved

I don't have a source for the supercharger rebuild but I would strongly suggest removing the intercoolers for cleaning while you have everything apart. They will be full of oil residue..

+1 on the above.

If you can find a low mileage used one with rotors in good shape it would be less expensive.

If you can get a used one replace the rear bearings which is very easy to do and maybe the coupler in the snout if it has too much play.

The rotors on my original SC at 100,000 miles were still fully coated.

I bought a used one and had it rebuilt with smaller pulley etc.

Hold on - are the black spots on the rotors the coating or should they be more like the grayish part?

The black bits are the coating.

I had the rotor pack rebuilt in my xjr before going with the twin screw. Now it’s back on. Look up super hope performance and talk to Bill Evenoff. He can hook you up with just a rotor redcoat and rebuild or the entire assembly with snout bearings redone.
