Default Know of any place to get a turbo rebuilt?

I'm looking for a local business in Tulsa, OK who can replace the compressor wheel on a turbo I have if that's possible without a rebuild since the turbo only has a couple of hundred miles. Anyone know of a good place locally? If no local places any places you know of that I can send it off to? Lmk thanks

If just the comp wheel is bad buy a new one and bolt that bitch on..... If it needs a rebuild other than that you'll have to send it out.

What turbo? Many times its more cost effective to just buy a new turbo.

New wheel means it will have to be rebalanced

The easiest way is to do it locally, as shipping a turbo twice isn't cheap due to weight, however most rebuild shops don't need the turbine housing so you can take that off.

Find out if there's a diesel shop nearby, most of the time they have the capacity to repair/rebuild/rebalance in house.

It doesn't need a rebuild, the turbo is pretty new with no shaft play, only a couple hundred miles but the compressor wheel was damaged and I wasn't sure if I could just replace the compressor wheel

I was afraid it would need rebalancing but ok thanks for the idea
