.64 will be abit too big mate, its for a members car after we've had some major issues with another turbo builder so need housing for new one/replace old one
Will take a look what I got. Sure I got a t25 turbo which needs a rebuild

difficult to find a company that do them well and not just ok enough to charge the customer.
The guy i used has given me a printout of the vibration up to 200,000rpm

Are the rear housings ok? Not worried about the cores or compressor side

Nope - hairline cracks in 2 directions from the penny penny washers area.

They bad enough to affect the boost, i:e leak badly?
I know i'm not going to get a mint one off a used turbo but least it holds boost and the penny shaft has minimal play it should be ok

I had no issues with it losing boost on mine when it was on.
