Mitsubishi invented balance shafts. Every manufacturer has to pay royalties to Mitsubishi to use balance shafts. Since it is a 4-cylinder, you are basically stuck with them.

Where did you get a garret tha uses a kkk hot side for a #8? Most places I see have their own when it comes to larger than a #6? <img src="confused.gif" border="0">

Yeah, I bought this turbo used. It was a Stg.2 ball-bearing Garrett hybrid. Using the #8 hot-side from a TurboS is a simple way to make an upgraded turbo because you won't need custom flanges or anything.
Yes, externally both the #6 & #8 turbines look the same. Only difference is in the inlet (about 1/2" bigger on the #8). In the photo, the KKK has been ground off on the #8 turbine...

The studs were used on the stock K26/6. When I went to the Garrett hybrid with the #8 hotside, it used bolts to attach to the downpipe. Much easier to install.
