It needs a rebuild so I was thinking of having a T04 compressor put on there too. My boss told me that you can rebuild the turbos yourself although he's not sure about the stock RX7 turbos. Does anyone know if there are kits are for sale? What is involved? Can I do the hybrid myself?

Thanks

Rebuild kits are available from Turbo City, I would not recommend upgrading yourself because you won't have the equipment to dynamiccally balance the new assembly

Can I bring it to a place to get it balanced?

BTW: How much does it cost to get it rebuilt?

My rebuild/upgrade cost $875 through Majestic, and I wouldn't recommend them under any circumstances, as their oil seals only lasted a couple thousand miles.
