Haven't pulled my turbo apart yet because I was thinking that I might just try to find someone locally who can rebuild it. The guy at Pure Turbo still hasn't found any parts so I'm becoming skeptical of the information he has provided me.

So, is it true that the center housing or cartridge of my turbo is truly ruined? Or is it possible to rebuild it if the shaft is replaced and larger bearings are put in as opposed to the stock bearings?

I don't have any experience with rebuilding a turbo, so I'm not sure if this is a dumb question or if that rep at Pure Turbo fed me a line of B.S. about how my center housing is completely useless.
