Rebuilding my turbo

[AwdGSX13]

you could try to do it yourself but then you'll have to get it balanced and all that good jazz afterwords or i atleast rec. it. And for mitsu turbo id go with oem parts... some things i just wouldnt use other than oem parts.

It's probably cheaper to have someone just balance it compared to having them rebuild and balance it right? There is a really nice tutorial, http://www.vfaq.com/mods/Turbo-rebuild.html I guess I could handle everything and just have it balanced afterwards. It looks like I wouldent even have to take the turbo nut-bolts off because I bet the oil is leaking past the seal that is located right below the cerclip that holds the compressor housing together. But since I got it off I might as well do it all right? Have you re-built a turbo awd? I know a machinest, think I should consider the 16g upgrade by getting a 16g compressor wheel and machining the housing or getting a 16g housing? Would I need to upgrade my injectors,Fuel pressure regulator, and chip my computer to accomidate the 16g crossbreed?

I just made the call and it's been decided that I'm gonna rebuild it myself and have it balanced for 75$. And I will use satan's parts for the rebuild. If anyone has rebuilt a tdo5 it would be really nice of you if you could spare some time and help me with the rebuild. Or even if you knew where I could have some of the turbo parts that were cooked bead blasted for cheap I would reall appreciate it.
