My Turbo Took A Crap!!

Yep...as the title says...

The impeller bearing on the hot side decided to make noises and scream at me every time I drove my car. So, in light of the current situation at hand, i'm in the market for another turbo....Any suggestions as to what I should go for? This is for an S4 by the way... S5 turbo and mani? Hybrid?

I'm not lookin for too much power. 300 is max....i don't want to start breaking any more things off of my engine.

Much appreciated guys.

s4 turbo 2 stock turbo. No shaft play I could feel with my hand and about 90k on it. has oil return and feed lines still attached. I am sure in cali there are plenty of shops that can build it for you. I had TEC who is about 30 mins from my home in Colorado build mine as a hybrid with T04 parts and upgraded compressor side. Then I just ported the exhaust housing( like this http://www.fc3spro.com/TECH/HOWTO/TU...ORT/tport.html ) and exhaust manifold inlet on the block side. I gained a bit of lag Im sure but the hp results will make it all worth it.

I have a rebuilt turbo that has never been used since rebuilding it. It's from an '87 TII if you are interested.
