blown hybrid turbo...

Well, I bought a hybrid turbo from a member a while back. I received it, and there was a lot of shaft play. When I installed it and took her for a short spin, I noticed an oil leak coming from the turbo. At first I thought it was my fault from not tightening down the oil lines enough, but then I noticed oil coming from where the TID bolts on! I took the TID off and a gush of oil came out from the inlet. There was oil all the way in my intercooler and tb even. So I deemed the turbo blown. Sent it back to the member, and he won't help me out whatsoever, so now I'm gonna be stuck with a blown turbo.

What I'm wondering is where I should either send it to be rebuilt or is there any place that I can get a rebuild kit to do it myself. If I do it myself, do I need to have it balanced? where could that be done?

Thanks,
Aaron
