You heard wrong. Low-side is what will catch oil for most. High-side is unlikely to catch all that much on a street car.
Even if I rebuilt them why would I need to balance if I'm re-using the same shaft and wheels? Anyways if I DIY I think CHRA would be a better idea. You basically have a new turbo that way without paying to much.

And I could buy waste gate repair kits and do that as well since I have a cheapo welder at home. Seems simple enough to do the fix.

But now I don't know... a big turbo S2000 wants to race me so doing around 650whp would be nice on this car... but it's a 335is I don't want to make it into a 5000$ N54 by putting a bunch of mods and "breaking" it.

Plus if I want to do 650whp that means in additions to new turbos, I need new inlets, new clutch and pretty sure I'm gonna need a custom tune right?
