Got some damage, should I bother fixing it?

Stock turbo needed new seals, so I pulled it open today and found the impeller and exhaust wheels had some wear due to in and out shaft play. Can I just put the new seals in and put this thing back together? I'd like to keep it running for a little longer until I can get a nice ball bearing turbo.

Man honestly I think you will be better off springing for a newer turbo now before that thing hits another wobble and comes unglued. If it's already done that much damage from shaft play then it's only a matter of time (and not very much)...Think about where those little pieces of those blades are going...:eek: :eek: :eek:
 
I wouldn't rebuild that turbo unless you want to rebuild your engine, too.... That thing is pretty chewed up.
 
I have a mint stock one I can sell ya cheap. pm me if you are interested.
