Also, are you rebuilding this yourself or sending it off? It looks very tricky and if you hit the turbine wings with the rubber mallet you need to use in the process you'll ruin it and have to buy a new one, but it is doable if you're careful.

Good going! Just out of curiosity, what prompted you to want to rebuild the turbo? Did it outright fail, or was it blowing a lot of oil?
