A turbo spins over 100,000 rpm so it is precision balanced. Don't just try to replace bearings and hope you get the torque right on the impeller nut. Get a quality shop to rebuild the turbo. High Tech Turbo in Murray UT and BD Power in Abbotsford BC are two sources. Your compressor housing may be reusable if not badly worn. You will need a new wheel. Don't keep running it. If the turbo blows up, you will spend a long time cleaning out the pipes, intercooler, etc. and hopefully none of the shrapnel will make it all the way into the engine.
