turbo balancing

[irritatedmax]

i know there are rebuild kits for turbos and that you can rebuild it yourself but i was also under the impression that you have to get it balanced after you rebuild it. so are there any local (lincoln/omaha) shops that can balance turbos? or is it really unnecessary?

[Kelvin]

very necessary, i do not know of any local shops that do it. what turbo is this?

no throw it on the car and dont run a wastegate, those things are overrated

[irritatedmax]

it was just a general question. not a specific turbo. sometimes its easier to come across turbos that are blown/really used, so i didn't know if there was any one setup to do this locally to cut out shipping.

no wastegate got it. that saves me a couple hundred. good looking out. hahaha.

Try Diesel Specialties in Omaha. They do alot of turbo rebuiding.

the shaft speeds of industrial diesel turbos and aftermarket car turbos are different.

your best bet is calling turbo places in texas i know FP does balancing and rebuild services but it aint cheap

[Johnny]

no place in nebraska does it themselves, I looked into this like 2 years ago, they all send them out to someone, so you might as well just do it yourself, and cut out the middle man.
