Name that part!

Yay another guessing game! So heres the story, My rear turbo (td04) was seezed so we took it apart and rebuilt it, but as we are taking it apart a flat, small washer the same shape of a key-chain ring (coils around) falls out of the middle of the housing. Ive looked at every diagram and ripped the turbo apart twice looking for where this came from. I hate to put to the turbo back on with out this washer and find out it was important. Sorry I have no pictures at the moment of the washer but I will get some. Any ideas or diagrams that fit this discription? Thanks guys

forgot to mention...the washer is'nt in the rebuild kit. so it must a non ware item of some sort.

Here is a link to a turbo rebuild guide on 3si.http://www.3si.org/forum/showthread.php?t=138231

Here is a link to the dsm turbo rebuild site it has a good step by step. http://http://www.vfaq.com/index-main.html
If you had a pic I could help you better as I did my turbos a few years ago. Did you get the assemblies balanced or did you mark them when you took them apart?

I marked them all, i couldnt find a shop in town to balance anything as small as a td04, as for the picture, Ill upload one right away I took a few

I had my turbos balanced at Alamo industries,30-5225 6 th st NE in Calgary. There phone number is 274 6211. When I did mine they had the rebuild kits in stock for the tdo4. They balance the shaft assembly before you put them together. I think I paid 150-200 to balance both of mine.
