You don't balance it at home. That's why presuming that your in-need- of -rebuild turbo is still balanced and just needs seals and thrust plates, etc., it's important to reinstall exactly in the same position on the shaft. A lot of folks here will say you're a fool to attempt, but then I've been called a fool before so WTF.
I rebuilt a K27 7200 I bought used "just because". Followed my own advice, and have yet to install and see if it hooks 'em up or goes ballistic.
Also, don't forget to Loctite the nut. If that puppy spins off at a quadzillion rpms, your turbo is FUBAR.
