Just wondering if anyone has ever attempted rebuilding their own turbo? It seems like a worthwhile skill to have.

I'd like to try on a burnt out stock turbo just for the practice. Anybody ever pulled one of these apart?

Thanks

It's pretty simple, but make sure that everything is CLEAN.

Any specials tools I need?

Does anyone know of a rebuild media i.e. link, book, guide or tape?

Rebuild kits, parts lists, and or companies?

Thanks for the replies,
