Upgrading PTE-53 after destruction

[Slow91z]

Hey fellas I blew out my turbo tonight...It's BAD...It won't make any boost, dumps oil into the exhaust, and it looks as though the shaft is bent...The compressor wheel has hit the housing and maybe the turbine wheel also...the wheels look fine though (from the outside I have no idea what they look like inside the housing).

Is it worth upgrading a PTE-53 or should I just scrap it?? What can I do with it??

Ive blown a 53 also as bad as you. I had it fixed. Should have bought a new turbo.Cost almost as much

Really?? I had hoped it would cost quite that much...What about upgrades??

Any other people with input?
