NOW many people (on SON alone) claim you can replace oil seals no problem without re-balancing the shaft. Myself, I’d take the word of a professional turbo rebuilder vs kids on a forum but to each their own… I would recommend calling some Shops and getting 1st hand information from a professional who does it for a living (you’ll always get mixed reviews from a forum) --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/rebuilding-turbo/104124)._
