    Do it yourself... Its not gonna last anyway, rebuilt turbos never do unless its good name brand and you send it back to the company that built it... Been there tried that waist of time and money.

    What kind of turbo is it?

    ^ i said taking breaks..ha hardest thing was the snap rings for the journal bearings..need some "precision" ones..my snap on was where to fat. but other than that its a quick swap of parts and good to go.
