Will this rebuild kit work for the stock turbo?

So all RHB5's use the same seals and clips and stuff?

You got me. I guess I'll find out when I go to rebuild it. The auction says it includes the shorter and longer bearings. So it sounds like a pretty complete kit that should work with any RHB5.

yeah, its a universal IHI RHB5 kit, as mine was. It would also work if you say wanted to hybrid with the VJ17 compressor side (t-bird).

Josh, make sure you've got a snap ring tool to get the first bearing out. A regular needle-nosed pliers will NOT do the job, and I speak from experience :)

Already got a snap ring tool. Thanks for the advice :)

I was thinking more along the lines of a VF hybrid, but cool anyway.

Same thing, see? VJ17 RHB5 rebuild kit = VF11 RHB5 rebuild kit.

Got the rebuild kit. Everything looks there. I may try and work on the turbo this weekend, depending on what parts I get later this week.
