Here is the progression of my TII Adventure. Turbo looked decent, no excessive play, put being **** retentive I decided to rebuild it. Caleed Turbo City, rebuild kit was 110 + 17 shipping for UPS blue label. Unit arrived in 2 days as promised!



Here is the assembled "cartridge", as removed from the manifold

This pic shows the compressor wheel removed from the turbine shaft. To remove hold the nut on the turbine end with a 12mm 12pt socket and loosen the compressor nut with a 10 \mm open end wrench. A "dead-blow" hammer is used to tap the shaft free. DO NOT DROP THE SHAFT OR COMPRESSOR WHEEL:YOU WILL BEND A BLADE!!!
