Rebuilding a turbo.

most turbos spin closer to 100k rpm under boost. bb turbos spin even faster.

the rotating assembly (compressor, turbine and common shaft) need to balanced as a whole. Diesel shops have this equipment although im sure its not cheap to have done.

Send it to Majestic turbos in Texas. /End thread.

 

Great place. Also, where my turbo comes from. There's also PT.

http://turbocharged.com/main.htm

Many 7m people have their turbos rebuilt/upgraded from there. One of the cheapest I've dealt with and are reliable.

 

 

What I've seen done and heard when rebuilding a turbo, Is mark the nut on the compresser wheel and as long as it's just a bad seal everything should be good. But if any of the wheels are touching the housing's then I would send it out and get fixed.

I haven't rebuilt one myself, but have heard this same thing.

 

Bill, if you do decide to take it on, feel free to bring it by if there's nobody to help you. I have access to a couple pretty good writeups though I'm sure you can probably find some yourself; even subie related, maybe.
