   how much are we talking mate? my turbo is the RHB51 asked on gttioc and thats what everyone has told me. Are you sure a RHB5 kit will be able to fit mine? what was the difference with the 5 and 51 anyway?

   If you only change the bearings and seals no problem.the shaft and compresser wheel are individually balanced only need re balance if major parts replaced. Be lokking at £50 plus £5 for postage.
   Think i have a kit in stock will check in morning and get back too you.
   If you can give some more details i will confirm fitment.
   Dont have a listing for a 51 only a 5 or a 52 but this kit does both. 1 is possiblly a minor variation in core but same kit but will double check.
