[Rnash2002]

I think theres a how to guide on the VOC

[leet5r]

will it need balancing tho once av rebuilt it

Yes it will. Even cleaning off the oil and grime deposits from the compressor and turbine wheels can affect the balancing when reassembled. people do use them after a rebuild if put back exactly as dismantled but balancing is the best option for turbo/bearing life longevity.

it hasnt done any seals yet just a little play in the bearin , i have a rebuilt 12g from a lpt car could i put my 15g compressor housin and wheel on that

[nobananas]

I rebuilt mine without any problems. Didn't have it balanced (yes I know but I couldn't find anywhere to do it !) but 50 thousand miles later it's still okay !

I did my own as well with no problems, followed this guide

Fairly easy if you follow that. One thing i will say is that the genuine mitsubishi refurb kits come with more parts so i would suggest getting one. I got mine from ebay for around £80 delivered. You can still get it balanced after if you like, i think owen developments do the balancing for around £40-£50

No its not - hence the different model name.

yeah a know m8 the diff is the td04,td04l,td04hl thats the exhaust wheel and the compressour side is 15g,16t,18t etc , but you can get a tdo5-20g which a lot of the yankies use with good results

I've rebuilt mine twice, and I've recently done a 16T that I bought not long ago, its not too hard as long as you're careful. Just make sure you get the right kit (like I didn't), and there are two different compressor wheel types; Flatback and Superback. Both kits are virtually the same except for a couple of parts.
