They have a website like turbotechnologyinc.com or something. They are a HKS offical dealer and do good work.

I have the same question. How does one know when a turbo needs to be balanced? Perhaps you could explain what it is that you know so that the rest of us could learn from your knowledge.

Don't be so defensive, I'm sure Gambone was just trying to understand why one wants to balance a turbo. His question was probably asked from a point of curiosity and not to begin an assault on you.

i would think when having a stock turbo rebuilt with different internals itd be a good idea to have it balanced... especially since turbos can spin upwards of 150k rpm...
