taken this from a garret agents site....
Turbo Balancing



We are frequently asked by customers who purchase our rebuild kits if the turbo will need to be rebalanced after they complete the rebuild. You will not need to have your turbo rebalanced if the following applies:

  • Neither of the wheels (compressor and/or turbine) have touched or rubbed the housings
  • There are no worn, chipped, or bent fins on either of the wheels
  • You were careful to mark the position of the wheels in relationship to each other prior to disassembly and rebuilding, and then realigned these marks upon reassembly

I'm quite interested in doing a rebuild on a spare t3 I have, did you get your rebuild kit from ebay?
Hope you post your results on here, hope it works out to be cheaper than a proper rebuild!
