Beach buggy turbo's do some good quality rebuild kits. He can even get hold of staggered ceramic coated turbine seals! As long as everything goes back in the same way it shouldnt need re-balancing. Unless you're adding a bigger comp wheel like me!

Well I've decided to not to buy it...

Did some measuring and the turbo is the same inlet spec as a K03s with the turbine also being the same but with slightly cut back blades; this will get you more top end power with the expense of a tiny bit more lag.

If anyone would like to buy it it's up for a ton which is a damn good price considering I've just rebuilt it!
