Can anyone tell me were to get a quality rebuild kit? What ebay kit is respectable? Is there one? I have three that I want to rebuild. I want to do them once and forget it!!. Anyone ever look into putting ball bearings or needle bearings in. Im knew to this but that journal bearing is basicly a bushing isnt it? Would a local bearing company have better bearings , just matching up inner / outter races to the bore and shaft? Same with the rubber seals... Becahl rubber and gasket in town here . Going to look them up to see if they have a high heat chemical resistant seal / o-ring that would match up??? Any advise would be helpful.

Thanks

You can have the center housing bored to accept ball bearings and up-grade wheels etc.  I dont think it's a viable solution because you can buy a BB turbo with a warranty for about the same price as the custom hybrid.  For parts go to    turbos_r_us    on ebay.  Hope this helps.

Thanks Adam appreciate your help. I got your PM. Thought Id put this out there for others like me, new to this arena, to keep them informed. Id like to keep my cars stock even if the t25 isnt the best option. Both of them are very nice examples of what these cars were like coming off the showroom floor. I bought a third to mod the hell out of but plans changed on that one.
