I replaced the cartridge (center part with bearings and turbines) with one from Swedish Dynamics for about $350. SD also sells the cartridges on eBay if you want to try to get a lower price. Avoid unfamiliar sellers with Chinese knockoffs. It's not too bad getting the turbo apart, but the bolts that hold it togeter get rusted and they have small heads that are easy to round. I had to cut the head off one bolt with my Dremel and replace the bolt, but it was a common size. And make sure you mark the sections so you get the alignment right when you reassemble. For some reason, the cartridge does not come with the large o-ring that goes on the intake side. Ask about that when you buy as the original may be bad by now.
