Feeler Thread: Any interst in a turbo rebuild HOW TO?

[joey316g]

Im about to rebuild my stock turbo. ANyone have any interest in a HOW TO with pictures. Ill do a step by step from disaasembly, inspection, cleaning and reassembly if there is interest. If not, thats fine too. Just trying to give something back to the community. :wink:

Just click on the second link in my sig for some info.:biggrin: It's not done yet but it may help you if you decide to do a thread on "how to". You might want to add it to the how to section as well.

Question- after rebuilding the turbo, does it have to be balanced? High-speed turbo balancing machine - YouTube

hello; I'd like to see a rebuild on a 100.000 mile TB turbo. I watched part one of that turbo rebuild and it's pretty nice in there and as he said fresh.

Ok, ill do one. I'm in the middle of the rebuild now. I need one hard part (turbine wheel/shaft) and then I will reassemble, finish pics and then do the write up. Anyone have a good hot side wheel they wanna sell?

 

[joey316g]

Still in the middleof this one guys...waiting on a hard part (turbine wheel) to come in and then I will finish it up and post up...should be decent.

This would be a good idea. I'd like to see it made a sticky.

That would really be great and very timely. I just broke the shaft in my TA60. Exhaust side destroyed. Turbo side feels good. However, I would love to do this if nothing more just a learning curve even if I never use it again. Thanks, Looking forward to your "How To" with pictures...
