They even returned my phone calls when I left a message, How may places sill do that?
The following is right from there web site:

Ultimate Jets provides an in-house service for Jets-Munt, BF-Turbines and Behotec engines.

We can provide the following service to our customers:
  • Basic troubleshooting including datalog analysis
  • Internal parts replacement: Kero burner, electronic board, TGT sensor
  • Standard engine service
  • Bearing replacement and balancing
  • Crashed engine quotation and repair
I contacted Ultimate Jets (pre Harvey) which is where I bought the turbine, and was told that they do not have a working balancer. No timetable was provided for when they may have a balancer. They offered to disassemble my turbine to determine the problem and then send it back to Behotec for repair. I sent it directly to Behotec.
