Diesel911, do you have any input on turbo balancing? The shop I took mine to for bearing bore hone + oversized bearings says that balancing each piece independently won't work, they'll be off when assembled, and balancing as an assembly is the only way to get it right.
Right now I'm inclined to have them balance my rotating assembly, even though the parts are new.

I did my first one using mecydeessource kit, I bought the new up graded impeller and his tools package, some of the tools were very handy, the picks were useless and obviously he's never tested them to see if they'd work .
Some place called "pop shop" or similar sells U.S.A. mad Garret T3 overhaul kits for far less $, maybe next time I'll try them . The main thing is : YOU CAN DO THIS ! . It's not really difficult . Read up on it and print out all the instruction sheets, it really helped my power .

Quote:
If there was metal missing you had a decision to make about the balancing. They can be balanced as an assembly or as individual units. If they are balanced individually you don't need to worry about how they are located. If they are balanced as an assembly. (turbine wheel, Compressor wheel and the nut then the Compressor which is removed during assembly has to be lined up to the match marks during assembly.) My guess is that now a days when the turbo was assembled the turbine and the Compressor wheel were balanced separately. If you don't see any match marks on it from the factory then then they were likely balanced separately.
