You can rebuild it yourself and than have a shop balance it for around $50. I've rebuilt a few of my own turbo's and waiting to bring them in and get a couple balanced at once. If i remember, you'll need an 8m, 10m, 11 or 12, snap ring pliers and a small screwdriver along with the rebuild kit. You don't have to take the inner circlips out unless they are bad. I've gotta pick up a 18g wheel to finish my 18g turbo rebuild. Have a spare 16g wheel if you need one though.

VFAQ.com has a good write up on it if your willing to try yourself, otherwise a shop wont charge you more/less if it's already apart. Infact it may even be less.
