Police executed two warrants at the Georgina Street house, which led to the bomb squad being called in to detonate the explosives.
It was the same home which had a bullet smash through a front bedroom window early Sunday morning while Spittal was inside with his partner, narrowly missing the pair.
The projectile hit a wall and landed outside the room in one of four drive-by shootings in recent days.
Police returned to Quirk Court on Wednesday, the scene of the latest drive-by.
Spittal, 39, is facing seven charges, including trafficking meth, manufacturing an explosive, drug possession, hindering police, and failing to comply with a direction to assist with access to electronic devices.
Charge sheets allege he manufactured a pipe bomb on Tuesday.
Two hard drives with CCTV footage and three external hard drives were taken from the home.
Police seized 17 exhibits in total, with the ice allegedly three times the traffickable quantity of the drug.
