has anyone tried to rebuild their ct26???
Im planning on getting a turbo soon, and wanted to rebuild it with a rebuild kit from I forgot what site. I know its not recommended, but I really dont want to pay all that money to have it rebuilt. The main thing Im concered about is the balancing. Can it be built by me, and then taken somewhere to be balanced, or does balancing just consist of actually lineing everything up during the rebuilding process? Also please dont suggest a pre-built turbo because of other reasons that dont matter. Just so some of you know, NO I have never done anything like this, but I do have a rather good understanding of mechanical work, and things of that nature. any help or advice would be great....

I rebuilt mine TWICE in less than 500 miles...it's that damn oil pressure. I need the oil restrictor bad. Anyway, the rebuild is easy but like they said, do things right the first time.
