I've done a few T3 rebuilds and the only trouble with rebuild kits is making sure you get the proper intake side oil seal since there are at least two different types for nissan turbos and probably a bunch more for saabs, fords, etc.
The last one I rebuilt on my kitchen table one evening and all I did was replace the bearings and piston ring seal..............and clean clean clean.
It had huge play and I could actually feel where the turbo shaft was thinner from wear yet it's still working fine 45,000 miles later.
It's got huge play now but I don't run any throttle opening until the car is fully warmed up.
