I would just get another standard Turbo. It's gonna be quick enough anyway, save rebuilding of turbos for when you get bored of the power!
Sounds awesome on tickover though, fair play for sticking at it!

Best thing to do is get the turbo sent away for inspection. They'll give you the low down on whether or not its still useable.

I expected it to be alot more. I suppose they can't give any form of guarentee with their work? Because you might be running too much boost, blow the Turbo then blame them?
