New impeller wheel balancing? Options

[rhodesyboy]

Hi, basically I have got the inlet housing off the turbo to clock it and in a bit of frustration I may have chipped the edges of a few of the impeller blades

So basically I'm just wondering if I could just fit a new impeller without taking the turbo out completely. So basically as long as the new wheel is balanced would I be right in saying that the entire turbo would not need re-balancing and can it be changed whilst in the car?

Also before I look how do you actually change the impeller? is there a way to stop the shaft spinning and just take the nut off and put the new one back on?


Was thinking of buying this https://www.turborebuild.co.uk/webshop/prod...nce-Design.html
Just in case anyone has had any good/bad experiences with them.

Cheers

Thanks for the info

Yeah I definitely want to get it done properly, so its looking like there is no way to get that done without taking the shaft out, was wanting to avoid that but looks like I have no choice, I suppose I can fit my decat downpipe whilst I'm at it.

The shop I'm looking at that sells the billet impeller also do full balancing so I'll be able to send the shaft off and they'll send it back all lovely and balanced with a new impeller

Cheers
