Has the wheel itself contacted the turbine housing? Its hard to tell from the pics but it sorta looks like it has from the video. Personally I wouldn't bother rebuilding a t25 period. For about the price of a rebuild you can get a good used 14b & install kit or spend abit more and get one of the 16g's. They will both be nice upgrades compared to the way too small, can't hold boost to the redline t25.

Edit: Just took a look at your profile, says your running the T28? Why are you thinking about rebuilding a t25?

I've never dissembeled one before, was curious, anyway I probaly f*** the wheel had the housing in the vise to help mout with removing the snap ring and dropped it on the floor. so anyone who wants a free t-25 exhaust housing or to use as parts or whatever spread the word, all they have to pay is S&H.

I've tried circlip plyers and they just don't work well on those heavy duty snap rings. So, I took an old pair of plyers and I ground the tips down to make a stronger version of circlip plyers.

Ohh, and I personally wouldn't waste my time with a T25 rebuild. Not when the price of a rebuild kit is the same price as a 14b turbo.
