what replacement parts would you need? you cant rebuild hte CHRA so youd have to order a whoel new one anyways the intake and exhaust housings shouldnt “wear out” but there is always aftermarket housings from precision, innovate, turbonetics etc ---

yea, but you cant just replace the wheel, thats what they are saying… if you replace just the wheel your going to have to get it balanced again, and not only that i think the ball bearing is part of/pressed onto the shaft somehow ---
