sorry Im not down with that turbo slang - rib cage, uhh backing plate???? if so add another 50 bucks for anodized, find someplace else to rebuild, you can pretty much buy a better / same turbo for the money they are asking.

based on what you said/know get another estimate, if the $ are the same buy another turbo.
