Ebay user turbos_r_us sells the same kits gpop does at much lower price. Most are $35.

The last 5 kits I've got from that guy. 99.8% positive feedback, and I haven't had any problems with any of his kits.

To aid in the natural direction of this thread, anyone know of a place that balances at eBay style pricing. I have rebuilt few turbos that had good wheels, but I have one that needs a new compressor wheel

The only turbos that are assembly balanced anymore are garrett. Most everything else is component balanced.

That's interesting. I probably would have rebuilt this thing a long time ago had I known that.

I actually had this turbo built by blaast a few years ago and never had any trouble. A rogue a/c plug took out the comp wheel on a random hard pull with no screen.

I have had a few rebuilt there, as have several others from the BC area. Never an issue, but lots of other seem to have had problems. Guess we were just lucky?

 does balancing for free if you buy a rebuild kit from them. Thats where I got my rebuild from for my to4e 40trim. Dude is real ruff and gruff on the phone, but then again your not trying to date him. So he gets shit done!!
