You can buy a rebuild kit from these guys they have good prices and are very helpfull and good to deal with:

I believe if you ask them they will email you a pdf file with instructions on how to rebuild your turbo. It is very easy, I have rebuilt a couple myself. Just make sure you mark every thing when you take it appart so it all lines up when you put it back together. If you dont you will need to send the turbo out for balancing.
