Quoting Lukefraizer:
So on the agenda today check the exhaust manifold and figure out the issue! If it is the turbo... I was talking with a friend of mine and he was saying the turbo should be balanced when it gets rebuilt. Any thoughts on that or any way I could get around that?



They're component balanced, so it should still have an acceptable balance after you reassmeble it.
Balancing usually runs about 60-70 bucks.

If you're not comfortable rebuilding something that's going to be turning over 100k rpm, have someone familiar with turbo rebuilds do it for you... it's fairly simple, but you should always err on the side of experience when it's something you'll be asking a lot from.

25psi is actually quite a bit for any 16g, IMHO.

Yeah I'm more on the side of having someone do it. On the subject of turbos... How are they classified? Like flow rates and such? I have a general idea but I don't know the exact meanings on the flow parameters and stuff.
