Funnily enough I've got a spare K03s turbine sat next to me.

The turbo cost £50 and the upgrade rebuild kit was £55 and
now the turbine and shaft at £65 so much for a cheap turbo  :sad:

just the turbine+shaft, compressor wheel, nut and thrust collar. I know the parts I got were supplied balanced individually, but I really don't want it to be a little bit out and explode as I'm still crossing my fingers that 0.5mm is enough clearance for the compressor wheel in its housing.
