well I found the reposted link for jakes rebuild instructions etc..
http://vwdiesel.net/phpBB/viewtopic.php?t=13357&postdays=0&postorder=asc&highlight=thread+size&start=15
and attempted to do my k24 tonight.. the kit from Alamo came with the wrong thrust washer!!! the one in the kit is like half the size and won't even reach the two dowel pins ......ARGH!!!! and no I have to wait till monday late to contact them to get this straightened out.
a tip for any one doing these rebuilds is to have lots of carb clean, and you need pb blaster and oxy actylene torch to heat the area around any turbine bolts.. I didn't break any but some were a real ***.. good thing the rebuild kits come with new bolts too.. and lapping teh waste gate with valve grinding compound worked great!!
again I couldn't have taken it apart with out oxy acty HEAT!!! and i sprayed the turbo down fro 3 days with pb blaster too..
Thanks,
Deo

I had that problem with a T3, I broke most of the turbine bolts, but eventually got them all out, but the turbine will not separate from the center section. I can get it to turn a little if I beat on it with a hammer in the right direction but it isn't budging. I was thinking of just dunking it in a bucket of used engine oil for a couple of weeks.

I have the same problem as well, my thrust washers are too large for the shaft and the piece that fits into the compressor housing. Is there a way to measure the correct size of thrust washer to fit the impellar and that aluminum piece. It almost looks like a split ring without the holes to open or compress the ring. I'm going to give my local turbo shop a call and see what they have, but these guys were kinda stupid and told me my turbo was 30 thou out........ right......
I took the turbo to another shop and they balanced and straightened the shaft for me for 60$, and it was only out 2 thou.....

Huh?.. the thrust washer doesn't fit the shaft .. the only things on the shaft are the oil bearings, and the ring seals.. in the kit etc.. when you speak of rings with out holes that sounds like the sealing rings .. they are like piston rings.. you can spread them open with your snap ring pliers etc.....My kits problems were solved by receiving the correct kit .. some how the first one was send incorrectly.. any way .. If you need the compressor wheel nut torque, its 105 inch pounds if your nut is right hand thread.. and use the red loctite.
Thanks

Well yes and no... ha.. the kit comes with the 270 degree stock thrust bearing ..I had the tech figure out were to get a 360 degree thrust upgrade.. not sure where it came from maybe a t3.. any way they added that to the kit too...If any one wants one of these and use Alamo.. talk to Jesse tell them Deo sent you.. they just did mine and they can set you up... make sure you ask for the 360 thrust and the sintered metal wastegate gasket... as the correct second k24 kit I got, did not have it. But they were able to get it for me.... They helped out a ton..and I think i got the "bugs" out of their k24 stuff ha.. Im gonna use a kit from them to redo my big holset for my dodge twins too so that should be cool too
Thanks

Yeah it was kinda sad to see him go, he was doing lots of interesting experimenting........it was lots more exciting than reading about alternator belts and stuff.

'82 Rabbit, I put on a euro vnt-15, 2.25" DP, 2.5" exhaust, the result.....it whistled.
I removed the turbo, made a toilet bowl 2.5" DP, the result....it was deafening. Now it has a homemade muffler up front and a thrush in the rear, the result.....less loud.
