Default When should a turbo have to be balanced?

As subject, when should this have to be done, as i seem to recall reading that in 95% of cases it doens't need to be done, or am i completely on the wrong track? I have another turbo and was thinking of buying one of those repair kits from sty @ MSD to do the one that i took off, but what do you think?
