My K27/6 just gave up the other day. no boost. pulled the maf off and the compressor won't budge. i bought it used off a Rennlist member years ago. How would I go about attempting a rebuild myself. Is there any special knowledeg that is needed that prohibits this. I am assuming someplace may have to do some of the work (balancing maybe). How would I determine what parts?

Yes I have, but knowing what I know now, I wouldn't do it, again. Give Charlie at Evergreen a call, it may not cost as much as you think.

I got quote from Charlie for $425 for a K27/8 a few months ago.

I rebuilt my t3 on my own but if your compressor won't move at all it may be worse off. Mine only blew a little oil.

Take it to the turbo dude. He has the right tools to measure and repair and the skills to use them.

I have seen a couple of rebuilds at the track done by owners go home on the hooker.
