Default rebuilding turbos

Hi

Can some rebuild a turbo without sending it to a shop? Is it hard?

If someone have done this please help me shed some light

Thanks

I rebuilt a mitsu turbo and it worked great, It was fairly striaght forward. I ordered a rebuild kit from Texas Rebuilds(I think), It came with directions. You should have it sent off to be balanced, If not, mark the compressor before you remove it so you can re-assemble the same position that it was in. This is what I did and I had absolutly no problems. I would still recommend having balance at least.

balance the turbo's please. you are only gonna hasten turbo life. VSR. Something that spins that fast can't possibly be correct by hand, much less eyeballing it. Even if you mark it before hand.
