T66 needs rebuild

I've got a turbonetics ball bearing which i believe needs to be rebuilt....oil smoke out the exhaust. I ran the turbo without a restrictor pill at first a whilea go...hasn't been right since. Anyway I'm gonna call innovative later today to see if they can rebuild it, but I'd like to get opinions on who i should have rebuild it? Any info would be appriciated.

Thanks,
Dan

I got one in, once it was in the turbo worked great but had problems sooner then it probably would have.

I spoke with both companies..... Turbonetics gave me a quote of $500 for a basic rebuild while Innovative gave me a price of $400. Does anyone have any reason why they like innovative better? I'm getting the turbo rebuilt by them no doubt, but I was just curious if they use different seals and what not.

If anyone is interested in price comparison turbonetics gave me a quote of like $150 for a water cooled center section and innovative gave a quote of around $100. Hopefully I can find a box and ship this baby out today. I figured the price would be closer to $1000 for a rebuild.
