Default Turbo rebuild

As long as a turbo has no damage to it when it went out, can an average joe get a rebuild kit and do the rebuild it themself?

I've never taken the center section apart, but it doesn't seem to overwhelming. You can get a rebuild kit for around 100 bucks. What kind of turbo? Here is a link for a great write-up on a rebuild of an hx35, so you know what's involved.

here are the Holset Manuals for all teh turbos, download the H1C.

Also make sure you get a genuine Holset rebuild kit.

I have an h1c but was lookin at a hy35 that needed rebuilt. Want to upgrade from the h1c but mine has some slop in it, so either way I would have to rebuild one. On a budget so lookin at my options.

Thank you for the links guys!

So would it be smarter to get an hX35 or upgrade the housing and compressor wheel on the H1C?
