Default Rebuilding a turbo

I want to take my t25 turbo and get it rebuilt because it is leaking oil into the exhaust. I was wondering what shop I could take it to and how much?

Thanks

How bad is it? There's a point where a groove gets worn into the surface of the shaft hole (at the turbine end) and it can't be rebuilt. It would be like having a groove in your cylinder and expecting piston rings to seal at that point. In that case you need a new center section. I think you should check with blouch turbo. I mailed my K04's to them for bigger compressor wheels.

I went here with my turbo and they wanted 500 dollars to rebuild it. I could just buy a brand new one for cheaper.
