T25 rebuild fiasco. halp!!
#22
I've never had one apart or rebuilt one, nor have I ever paid anyone to work on one before. The miata was the first car I've ever turbocharged, and I just bought a new GT3271 for 300 second hand. I would feel comfortable taking apart my turbo to change the seals and reassemble, assuming I put the factory wheels back and I mark everything so it goes back exactly the way it was originally. It will still not be "perfect", but very very close and probably good enough. But if I changed wheels, or changed the main shaft, I'd send it to be balanced.

i didnt balance mine, but i did mark the orientation of the turbine/compressor wheel and re-installed it the same way. There were also very few balancing machine marks on the wheel. The other t25 i took apart was machined like crazy from the factory. it must have been way off balance before machining.
