Default Rebuilding my Turbo?

Well i been doin some work on my car workin all the bugs out since my engine build, and i had 2 broken bolts on the flange for my turbo and a small exhaust leak, so i took it off and drilled and taped the bolts out, and did an inspection of the turbo, it looks like on the exhaust side its had something pass thru that didnt belong, the fins looked great, but the outer part around the turbine had a little scaring, noting bad just looked like it happened once and quick, i felt for shaft play and yes it does have some, not much at all tho, not even close enough to see movement between the fins and compressor housing, since it was cold and had no oil being fed to it, i figure it will take most of that out when running am i correct? But just out of curiosity what would it cost to rebuild it? can i do it myself? I kno i can get parts and all, but what is needed, and o yea its a Turbonetics, T3/T4 hyrbrid, with billet backplates, a T60-1 i belive?

Any help would be appreciated,

Sorry for the long post,

Ryan

The best and cheapest place to take it to would be a big rig shop that rebuilds turbos. U can also get T bolt clamps cheap there as well. Should be about $150.

And no you cant do the turbo rebuild yourself.. The assembly needs to be re-balanced.
