DIY reconditioning of TDO5... is it possible?
Anyone know about this? I've seem some reconditioning kits for sale and was wondering how easy it was to do this myself, as I have access to a workshop so tools etc shouldn't be a problem.
Many thnaks for a reply :-)

It depends on what your on about reconning and what the kit provides.
If your talking about a full strip down it's not a simple job.
Once stripped and cleaned/conditioned it should be checked for rotor balance which requires specialised equipment, get it wrong and you'll damage the impeller or shaft and wheel which would mean a new core assembly.
Be careful !

Should be ok if you are mechanically adept. Just make sure you only clean it, dont take a scraper to any blades or use anything abrasive.
As an aside, would be nervous about doing a roller bearing turbo without the facility to press bearings properly and to test the ballance.
