[Vwdiesel] Turbo balancing

[mikitka]

Don't you know, those rocks stick in the tire in a uniform pattern to keep
the tires balanced. If you rotate the tire you will find one on the opposite
side.

Just kidding. Good point! How does it stay in balance if there is such a
build up of soot, carbon and such in the turbo?

I've always heard that balancing a turbo should always be done if the
factory 
balance has been upset.  I will always balance mine, but just wondering how 
it can be so important?  Each time I have dismantled a functional turbo it
has 
had considerable deposits on the turbine and compressor.  Those deposits 
certainly were not uniform or balanced and yet the turbo worked fine.  Kinda
like 
having tires balanced and then looking down a week later to see that you
have 
10 rocks stuck in the tread of each tire.
