There's a nice article on the web I came across, I don't have the site address but you'll find it if you google T25 repair kit, the guy showed exactly what to do. I'll try and find it for you.

seen it and used it, worked fine :wink: tired of sending my turbo in for 2k rebuilds and it lasts a month if that.
did my own, cost R350 for the kit and ja going ok after a few months. I really need to get a 360deg thrust bearing tho, think it should help
