Probably more expensive than the $800 that you paid for the car. Plus, you get to pull the motor to remove/replace the turbos. If your time is worth $100 per hour, that also is worth more than what you paid for the car.
When you're done, you will have more in the car than it would sell for.
Do the math....

Also,there are seals, a journal bearing doesn't keep oil in, the turbine shaft rides on a film of oil passing between the bearing and shaft.
There are carbon or graphite spring seals at both ends behind the turbine and compressor wheels.

I am curious to a few things. Did this problem gradually start or did the car just start smoking bad all of the sudden? Has the smoking become worse over time?
also, what color is the smoke??? Black - fuel/oil. Whiteish = coolant
And finally, what do your plugs look like???? Black covered with oil??? or wet smelling sweet???
Inspecting the plugs will tell you a lot about what is going on inside the engine
There are plenty of youtube videos on how to rebuild turbos and the kit on amazon looks similar to the rebuild kit I did to my GMC Syclone...which was easy.

OK, so there are no seals, as i thought. Its just an oil tight ( mostly) bearing.
That was my question - someone referred to "new seals". I could nto imagine any seal material handling the heat.
