Need a good turbo rebuilder in Seattle area
Or may consider doing it myself then sending out to have it balanced. Has anyone rebuilt a K27, and anything I should look out for? Jamie

Is there a major difference between the two, performance wise? <sorry for hijack>

The 7200 will spool up quicker.. The 7006 has a smaller compressor wheel.

I love my 7200 with the Kokeln, short gears, SC cams, and headers. I will restrain myself from asking what might be even better (I'll be asking Stephen and Kevin) until I get it back together and running for the fall. Only then will I ask the question. I fear the "while I'm in there" delays. I've heard that they can keep your car off the road for years...

How can you tell if you have a 7200 or 7006? The K27 was on my car when I bought it, and I would sure like to know which on it is...

Yea, the K27S will knock that turbo in the dirt! If you have headers the HFS makes it looks that much smaller!
