One thing is for sure; if you don't do it - it's likely you'll regret it.
Some companies have pretty simple uniots for balancing - others like TT (claim) to have expensive balancing machines - so shop around and see how your wallet likes it.
If you'd have marked the shaft and turbine before stripping, you'd get away with it however...

durham area

as Turbodave says i marked the shaft when i did my bearings and its run fine for a year now has seen 12psi constant since rebuild, after phoneing around i found they balance the shaft out of the housing and mark it then put it back (no different to u marking it and puting it back as you found it unless its seen damage)

I have used 4 rebuilt turbos over the years and didnt mark the turbo before striping, and all did plenty miles with no problems maybe I was lucky.
Does any one know of some one having problems with a turbo not balaced or is it just an old wifes tail ?

Ps I am not saying any one is an old wife.

not that i have experienced this first hand, but i would personally get it ballanced, the speed that shaft must rotate must be astronomical, if it was not right, it could happily dissmantle ya bearings for you thats for sure

just imho
