              you realize you have to balance the shaft at like 100k rpm right?
edit: and a rebuild kit will cost 100-150.  you may as well find another used one.  it will probably last longer than one that was rebuilt and not balanced.
call hybrid or innovative for rebuild kits though.

              Best place to send that would be Forced Performance…however, yo ucan pick up a used 14b for less than a rebuild would cost you.

              the best way to rebuild it is to throw it away and buy a new one

Hi Andy. Listen to these guys.  They know a lot.
             
            
              
            
           
          
            
            
              dont turbos spin at like 60k rpm? abnd considering that weight quadruples when speed doubles, a very slight imbalance at idle is HUGE at 60k
             
            
              
            
           
          
            
            
              yea…
when u call and ask for a rebuild kit they will just laugh at you when u say 14b…
cuz everybody is right, you just throw it out and buy a new one

More like 100,000 rpm or damn close to it
