Know anyone in MN that does turbo balancing/rebuilding?

You are more than welcome to come stay saturday night. There is a big group of chitownDSM.com guys that plan on coming up saturday and bringing a tent and stayin in my back yard.

Thanks, I might consider that.

Maybe twack will chime in as this is his turbo, but I don't believe it gave him any problems.

And like I said, I got it for a very good price....even after a rebuild it'd be cheaper than a new one.

EDIT: And thanks Sleepy.

Rebuild it all you want. The cheap knockoffs seemed to have problems that a rebuild wouldnt cover. Compressor housings splitting at the casting seams and wheels falling apart, etc...

Maybe there are a few companies making them now and yours will be ok for a while but it is a known fact that when these knockoffs came out they were garbage.

Decided to do some tucking tonight. Here's how far I got:



Got the turbine housing seperated and there's one stubborn stud that's stuck in there. It'll be a bitch getting it out:



Pile of parts, just for fun:



Here's my MOMO wheel:

Felt nice sitting in it today, lol.
