Should I rebuild my turbo?

My engine has 100,600 miles on it. I bought it with a blown coolant seal, so I've driven it less than 5 miles total.
The turbo has no play in it at all it seems, and spins freely, but while the engine is out I'm torn between rebuilding it "because I can" or putting it all back together at the risk of having to remove that PITA manifold with the engine in the car.

Due to my financial situation, Im of the "If it aint broke, dont fix it" school of thought. However, as I have come to find out. that can end up costing more in the long run.

Id say if you can afford to do it, go ahead and do it.
