Message	You will most likely see may saying their not rebuilable. But when I looked more into this long ago. I found out that this means that the cost of rebuilding the center section is about 90% of what the whole turbo would cost to buy brand new all over again. The tolerance factors of ball bearings will wear faster than the Mitsu turbo's that utilize a large free-floating bushing type with an extra large center shaft center section. Unless you pay an even higher price for ceramic ball bearing turbo's. This is just one of the things to consider when going the BB route. Seems like a lot of Supra's reply on Greddy turbo's or Non BB turbo's over BB's. STAGE V++++ Going to XV+ and beyond :) Yellow Z STAGE II Going to XI+
