I rebuilt mine, but it depends on if the turbine blades are damaged or not, mine was just bearings, you can get garret rebuild kits on ebay, the hardest part is getting the big circlips back in when putting the core back into the impeller housings cus the  new o-rings make it really really tricky, you'll need a big vice (ie opens up to at least 6") and some wood, I got my rebuild kit sent from the USA about £28 ish

The chances are the turbine wheel wil probably be ok. The compressor wheel will be the one that takes the damage if any, and it usually takes your comp cover with it, if not then a fresh set of bearings and piston rings and it should be fine.

As I am guessing you dont have a high speed core balencing machine but you can bodge it by marking the alignment of the wheels before you strip it and assembling it all in the same orientation. Make sure to use the original impeller lock nut when doing this as they are balenced by grinding the nut, dont forget its a left hand thread. I cant remember the torque on the little garrets, I think its 4.5Nm or something like that.
