sounds like the cracks are slightly less worse than mine mine go all the way up into the <snail> turbine area so i am soure it it was running it was not making alot of boost i have it cleaned pretty well and can take pics if you want as far as the balencing goes after i rebuilt it i planned on taking it to a place up in portland and having them balance it for me i figure much cheaper for me to do the rebuild and them do the balance versus them do rebuilt + balance + labour "Dave Hinz" <davehinznopsamcop.net> wrote in message news:bvs2jt$106a5h$1nopsam34476.news.uni-berlin.de... > On Wed, 4 Feb 2004 06:47:26 -0800, clayton <oddcompnopsamphia.net> wrote: > > the casting number on the hot side is > > f25<may be a 6> d87 then there is dh5 then the a/r number is > > 48 > > I've got different numbers, and don't know what they mean. > Numbers are DHSGS M4 A/R48 on one side, and 8E83 on the other. > It also has two radial cracks leading from the wastegate port, so > I don't know if(that) I'd use it. > > > its a aireaserch /garret unit as if you did not already know that :) > > Figured that ;) > > > i also need a source for the rebuild kits as well bearings seals ect > > If nobody here has a suggestion, google for "airresearch rebuild" and > you should find something.
