I recently acquired a Greddy TD-05H 18G turbo and came across this link.

I thought it was worth sharing for those interested in rebuilding their turbo's.

 

That's all fine and dandy, But where does it account for balancing the turbo? It doesn't, because you cant do it on your own, a pro has to do it.
If your lucky 1 in 100 turbos might turn out to be balanced enough with no proper balancing job and will work fine, the other 99 will self destruct in a matter of no time because they are not balanced.

You know how a motor revs to lets say 7000 to 9000 rpm, and the crank/rods/pistons (mostly the crank) have to be properly balanced or the motor will self destruct...

A turbo spins at 200,000+ rpm, in no way is it ok for it to be off balance by even a tiny bit.

 

Thanks for the info. This is always helpful Go ahead and contact the moderators to see if this can be made as a "sticky" to the FAQs.

 

I agree. At what step should one send out parts to be balanced and what are the included parts?

Will do!

There are also a few points in the below link about balancing. Are they true?

This one is also very good!
