searched on ebay uk and can't find any rebuild kits for the K24, also would i need to get it balanced after replacing the bearings?

20-25 is all the more you would really want to run for any period of time on a K24. get on ebay and get a rebuild kit for that thing, they are really cheap.

looked on ebay but the only KKK ones on there are for K14 ad K16 (i think it was them two any way) but nothing for a K24, but even so i've been told that if i rebuilt it myself i would need to get it all balance professionally?

i've found a garret turbo that's nice and cheap, apparently its from an AAZ but not sure if it would be any good for my engine, the info i have for it is

VW028145703B
655577-1
VJ9828F

after looking that up it came up with TB026 not sure if that is a model number? could any one tell me any more about this? if any one knows any thing about this kind of turbo could they say what kind of boost it could handle?

cheers for any help 8)
