end play, rebuildable?

[BrassMonkey]

hey, my turbo has a good amount of end play and is shooting oil all over my intake system. its a bb t25. wondering if rebuilding is possible or are they shot after that. thanx.

I'm pretty sure there are no rebuild kits available for ball bearing turbos. Had it been a T3, it wouldn't be a problem.

Can someone please explain the differences between the t2, t3, and t4 turbo setups? I know a t1 is a non-intercooled suck-thru setup, I've owned two of them. and VNT stands for variable nozzle turbo, right? I'm also not sure exactly what that means though.
Thanks

By T3, I was referring to Garrett's designation for their turbo, not Chrysler's setup. Read these websites like you were going to be tested:

Donovan's Dodge Garage
Russ W. Knize's Automotive Page

Gus Mahon Homepage

I'd stay away from a lot of older mods; there are a lot better alternatives these days.
