I rebuilt my HKS T4 turbo the only problem I had was installing the compressor seal it was a little brass seal with a carbon fiber peice that had to be pressed into the back fo the compressor wheel plate, Need less to say I had to by another seal because I broke the carbon fiber in a bunch of little ity bity peices. I asked the guy that I got it from which he owns his own turbo rebuild shop, how I can install it with out a press, I asked if I could use a c clamp he said that would work and to use a socket that would only touch the brass not the carbon. It took a while but I got it. And make for damn sure you put everything back in its specific place and orintation!!! The rest of the turbo is easy as cake!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
