Ill look into a performance holset turbo and check out a rebuild kit. The turbo i found only has around 35k miles on it, but think about it, i dont know the seller, what if he forgot to hook the oil line up or maybe he ran at 1600degrees or maybe hes barked the hell out of it. Anyways its not worth 350bux to take a strangers word that hes never "abused" the part. Thanx for all the input guys!!!

If its possible to rebuild it your self, I'd do that. I haven't done it, but I definitely would check out Ebay for the kit. Could save you a lot of $. Of course, like other mechanical things, there might be clearance issues, torquing issues and runouts that you have to check. Anyone know?
