Look all around and you will see "Imbalance" (lack of proportion or relation between corresponding things) in many places. Unbalance (upset or disturb the equilibrium of) is a less common word. Fact is, they mean the
EXACT same thing. The same way "flammable" and "inflammable" are both adjectives meaning "easily set on fire."

Thats all well and good when they are balanced as an assembly. The fact still remains that the T25, T3, K26 and K24 turbos used on the OM6xx engines are not balanced as an assembly, they are all balanced independently so making a big effort to keep everything lined up is a waste of time.
Left is an example of one that IS balanced as an assembly, a 2003 Ford Powerjoke GT37V. Notice the notch cut into the nut.
Right is a T25 from a member's 602, notice the whole nut.
