who has rebuilt a turbo
I am wondering if anyone has rebuilt or upgraded their turbo themselves? I have a spare turbo apart right now and need some help.
Thanks, Ed

Did you upgrade or just rebuild?
I can't get the two housings apart from the cartridge. It looks pressed in how do I seperate them.
Also once I seperate them how do I get the nut on top of the compressor fins off? I tried to get the nut off, but it is floating now (seems stripped or something). Now the top wheel spins free (the nut is a bit losse, but won't come off).

I don't know much about turbo's but I'm trying to learn with this spare before I mess with my rx7 turbo.
Another question, when you get your turbo "upgraded" which parts are replaced. I included a pic of a turbo that's number part by part. If you could refence this when you explain it would help.
Also how do you get the nut off the compressor wheel? The pic I included the nut I'm asking about is number 11.

who can rebalance the rebuilt turbo with the proper machine? (at home not a turbo shop ) If they are not balanced they will whine and the bearing will not last long
