There are other places in the US that may help you G-Pop Shop, ATP Turbo are a few. Mr. Trout was able to source one from France, and there are a few places in Sweden that can help.

My lesson is that the center portion (bearing housing) and cold side can be rebuilt, but the hot side is usually toast after 15 years of service or so (depending on driving conditions, heat cycles etc.)

The garret WG hole is prone to developing cracks, i've got 3 garretts and they all have badly cracked turbine housings, you maybe better off with the mitsu unit as they have a slightly different design.

There are a few companies on ebay uk that do rebuild kits, i've got a few rescently to upgrade a big turbo i've got.
