Lightbulb t78 rebuild

I have a t78 that needs to be rebuilt. It has shaft play up and down that's so bad that the compresser wheel hits the housing. There is no noticeable play inwards and out wards. I have taken smaller turbos appart but never one this big, but I assume they should all be the same, I hope. So my question is where to get the parts (I need a master rebuild, and a hot wheel) and any pointers on the rebuild, I already know to get it balanced but anything else?

Mike Turbo inc.com they should have the kit or get it for you. Now the turbine wheel is HARD to find cause it's an old system. I do have the same turbo that i'm selling and it also need a rebuild good luck.
