I'll be buying a replacement cartridge for mine.
It's comparible in price to buying a separate turbine and compressor wheel and having your turbo balanced afterwards.

how much is an overhaul kit these days ? You mention marking , that is another critical area , any scratch or indentation on these highly stressed turbine wheels can cause disintegration at high rpm , a felt pen should be ok though !
