IHI VF35 Turbo Rebuild Kit

Got a IHI VF35 Turbo here thants in need of a rebuild, does anyone know what there rebuild kits are like from ebay? or are they a stay away from kit?

some of the rebuild kits are fine from ebay.

what is exactly wrong with the vf35???

If its the thrust bearing that has gone the chances are it will have damaged the compressor wheel and scored the inside of the compressor housing, any more than 2mm thrust play could have also damaged the shaft too, if this has happened the turbo would be beyond economical repair.

Have you stripped it down yet mate?

Not stripped it as of yet jonny, has slight play on the shaft but i wouldn't call it excessive but the compressor wheel is damaged (few pieces broken off here and there) the compressor housing appears to be ok on the first look, but won't no for certain untill i pull it to bits
