Rebuilding Stock Turbo

Hey guys,
I really need to either rebuild or replace my stock turbo. The bearings are so shot I'm scared of it grenading on me going down the highway. I've found a few rebuild kits for relatively cheep and am wondering how easy these turbos are to rebuild.
Additionally, does anyone know of a turbo shop around the Denver area that will balance turbo wheels? I'll only have access to my home shop and tools for a week so time would be of the essence.

From what I've read, you should balance the wheels for longevity. I'm not going to keep the truck too much longer, but I might as well do it right.

Look in the tech write ups ben.....I did a write up on a 7.3 turbo removal and rebuild.
