    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.
