e) when you buy the rebuild kit it comes with a guide. No, it's not hard to do.

no there not hard to rebuild (i do turbo re-con at work...well to the end of this week)
you just need to check things well...
helps if you have access to people with a shot blaster to clean housings and turbine blades but how ever watch out for the shaft, dont blast that, obviously
