Which way do y'all recomend? Seems like leaving the turbo in place would be so much easier and no Oring leaks to worry about, but I read one site that said it's hard on the shaft doing the R&R in truck. Any thoughts....

Sure it sounds like the ideal thing to do, but c'mon where's the average person supposed to get that done at, not like ya run up to the Wal-Mart and get yer shaft balanced, one other thing, to you need a dial indicator to check the tolerances and end play or is visual and "feel" enough?

i would think "feel" method is usually ok. only slightly move side to side and ZERO in and out.

I think it is Ron's turbo service, check him out on Ebay. Send him the shaft/wheel, he will send it back the same day he gets it.
Depends on how long you can live without your truck.

Did my WW with the turbo on the truck and i can say, it was the first time i ripped into my truck of that magnatude, it was a nice install, no problems just sore muscles. I wrenched on vehicles before but wouldn't have done it without everybody,s help here. Your gonna spend more time taking everything off around the turbo than the install itself.

Does the WW give ya a nice whistle at idle? I've had some rigs pull up a red light or the fuel pumps that just whistle away sitting there at an idle, I like it, I imagine that a bigger, open exhaust is a must for that also.
