Also they have a video about upgrading turbos, which shows you how invovlved it is to upgrade or make custom turbos.

In the rebuild, they replaced the exaust wheel with a metal one when the original was ceramic......
Alot goes into modifying one though....

They sure work fast at that shop

Oddly enough I found it very relaxing to watch, I think the 'trancy' music lulled me into a dreamlike state

You are probably right there mate, it also allows you to ask your rebuilder do you do X when you rebuild like grinding, polishing and sizing shafts etc.
Paul I agree with you about the trancey music, sure there was a hypnotic message in there somewhere

Kind of puts into perspective when you think custom turbos are alot makes you think about all the stuff it takes to make one
