Right. a mate's GSI turbo has packed in. Just removed the turbo and its had it. The compressor wheel has also eaten itself.

He dropped of the car with a replacment turbo he bought from eBay from a VXR. I have took this apart to inspect it and this is also knackered. lots of end float and the compressor has also eaten its self aswell.

The car is a 2002 Astra GSI turbo. Tried ringing a few places but there all shut.

Or i can rebuild the turbo but i will need to get it balanced up.

Can anyone help?

Thanks.

Dunno whether it'll help in any way but you could mention Richard from Ben Johnson's recommended them.

They're in Normanton btw

rebuilding a turbo isn't difficult its the fact that you have to have them rebalanced when put back together
