Anyone know any place online where I can buy a full rebuild kit for the big 16g? I see ebay has a bunch of aftermarket/off brand kits, not sure of their quality....

Try this brother.

 

What is the consensus as far as this diy with or without rebalance? I've heard they were balanced individually as parts but..

 

I rebuilt with a ebay kit from kinuwa and it is great. 16g to 20g upgrade with new housing no worries so far and did not balance. Spools nice and quick.

 

Thanks man

 

Ive had turbos rebuilt by these guys before: http://www.majesticturbo.com/services.php

Great guys! Know their shiet, turnaround was quick, and pricing was competitive. They do full disassembly, clean everything, replace all the gaskets/o-rings and provide a balance report. I vaguely remember being charged just under $400 for a T4 Garrett turbo. In my case, had a leaky main seal.

 

What happened to the EF4?

 

Nothing, it spins like a top, this would be for a stock turbo I bought to flip.

 

Turbo rebuild related question, what's the torque spec on the nut for the turbine common shaft?

 

Tighten until its snug then 1/4 turn more, then stop!! Lol.

 

I have seen these kits before, anybody have any real world results on a Precision Turbo?
