Originally posted by Pootis View PostI talked with a holset dealer today who rebuilds turbos (flame suit on) and he said he has been rebuilding turbos for 30+ years and he has never balanced a holset and the rebuild is pretty easy (I know obviously something went wrong the first time lol) I am just hoping the exhaust blades are mangled I have looked at the intake blades and they look fine
I've had luck with G-Pop shop with rebuilding turbos, I also had them port and polish the turbine housing.'84 318i M10B18 147- Safari Beige

Yeah I have come to believe that the turbo shaft is slightly bent and therefore causing resistance. I'm going to disassemble the turbo and take the shaft to a turbo specialist locally and have him take a look at it1989 325i LS Swap (Money Pit):https://www.r3vlimited.com/board/sho...d.php?t=244933

You warped the head without making any boost? And that's what I'm trying to decide whether to rebuild it or just buy another one I believe I am going to need a new wheel and shaft1989 325i LS Swap (Money Pit):https://www.r3vlimited.com/board/sho...d.php?t=244933
