I tired searching this forum hoping someone has rebuilt their JH5 turbo on their mk6 golf gti...

I have a 2010 MK6 Golf GTI with 234,000KM(145,000Miles) with engine code CCZB, manual transmission, completely stock.
I plan to keep it completely stock because Im dailying this car. Ive changed the timing chain tensioner and thought might as well rebuild the turbo.

The issue is I though these cars came equipped with a KO3s turbo but im actually equiped with a IHI JH5 06J 145 702K. I can't find any turbo rebuild kits for the JH5, there isnt any information about any of their turbos on the IHI website. Would anyone have an idea whether the JH5 turbo is also known as something else? like perhaps RHF5?

This website would suggest it might be named as RHF5 as well but Im not sure how credible this website is because its not the official IHI website.

I was searching on ebay and i came across this,
https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/IHI-RHF...7753?_trksid=p2349526.m4383.l4275.c1#viTabs_0
Ive tried contacting the seller if he/she has any idea but so far no luck.

Thank you guys in advance!

I believe our turbo is ihi rhf5, at least that's what I found with my research.

https://www.turborebuild.co.uk/shop/search.php?q=rhf5+rebuild

This shop sells rebuild kits. Comp wheel got from the UK to Texas fairly quickly, considering international shipping. I bought a upgraded compressor wheel from them, it barely didn't fit the stock housing. I'll eventually get my spare turbo ported and machined for it to fit.

I'd email them, but I'm fairly certain it's the correct turbo.

Honestly, any decent turbo shop should be able to source materials for a proper rebuild.

I wasn't sure because it says JH5 on my turbo... but quite afew websites shows JH5 as RHF5.
