recentley did a turbo cleaning and noticed exhaust turbine was in pretty rough shape. went on line and bought one on ebay. has anyone ever changed the exhaust turbine and shaft in a VGT turbo?

Can you take a pictue so we can understand more? It is a reverse thread to take it off. Im not sure it is supose to be balanced with the new turbine...

This writeup is pretty comprehensive on rebuilding the turbo. Although not "specific" to what you are asking, I think it will answer your questions.
