Well you never know Brian ;
I might discover it's not a bad job , wait and see .
Damien (my freind who just died) tried his hand at rebuilding a turbo and it by passed oil and so smoked a fair good bit after he was finished although the car ran much better....
If this happens to me , I'll prolly never touch another one because it's a seriously fiddly job to remove or replace the turbocharger .
There are several oil grommets and O-Rings that should be changed any time it's off the car , replacing those really dried up the oil dripping on my and Tom's 'Benzes .

Yes - you can rebuild mine while you are at it. I need to take my air canister off and redo the nuts and bolts so will check the turbo blades while I am down there. But, I have never been happy with Mary's turbo since the engine got changed out, and I know I have an ongoing oil leak that needs to be cured. BTW - only one w123 in the Ontario PAP. Things are getting slim. This week I will put 4 muffler hangers (with chains) on Mary, 2 right door striker plates on, 1 new left rear door check on Martha, and 1 new hood pad on Mary. Done all this before so it is just a case of getting excited enough to roll out the door and take care of business.
