• I was searching and found these,
  
  http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=120294089891&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT&ih=002
  
  this one lists th kit as being Nr.53167110002 original, but that reference is for a K14 rapair kit

• Giles can get the proper OEM seal kit for pretty much any turbo and can rebalance it afterwards too
• #6 by carrizog60 on 06 Sep, 2008 03:01
• for how much?
  dont forget that gigaz2 and me are from portugal...

• Yeah, balancing afterwards wouldn't be cost effective for you guys because of shipping costs. The actual cost of a kit varies, send Giles a PM. you can ask him for a 360 degree bearing kit as well. I know we can get them for some VW turbos, not sure about the K24 though

• I already got in touch with some Portuguese turbo repair shops and they ask about 50€ for calibration(balancing) alone. (not bad at all )
  oddly they want the complete turbo to do it... :?
  
  
  
  they have the repair kits, but they charge about twice what I saw on ebay, plus they don't disclose what kit it is.
  I prefer to do it wrong myself to not knowing what was done (and pay a lot for it)

• 50€ sounds about right for balancing.
  
  Send Giles a PM, we'll see what we can get and them mail it to you and then get it balanced at the local place. Win win

• is a must to balance?
  dont know here someone that could do it...
  
  will send giles a PM :wink:
  
  thanks

  but I recall reading that if we assemble everything as it was it doesn't loose balance. that is if it was balanced before.
  
  for 50€ I won't risk it

• For how quickly a turbo spins, even being of just a slight light bit is going to make a big difference. It'll wear the turbo out faster, and in a worst case scenerio it could break and ruin your engine if pieces of the turbine gets into your engine.
