Message: [QUOTE="SEABEE08FX4, post: 1230917, member: 56"] In all the years we've been selling Garrett turbos I've only seen two GTP38R's come back for warranty claims. One had dried silicone in the oil supply port, the other had a aftermarket wheel installed ( batmowheel IIRC ). Balancing individually is one thing, but after you assemble those parts the assembly will not be balanced as a whole just because each individual part was previously balanced separately. Once you bolt two of those parts together the balancing goes out the window. The proper way, and IMO the only acceptable way is to balance them as an assembly. And all this really means is taking your compressor wheel and turbine wheel, putting them together and balancing them as so. Make a reference mark on the compressor wheel and the shaft so when they go back together you know where to index the compressor wheel on the shaft as it was when balanced. [/QUOTE]
