Is this turbo worth rebuilding?

This came in my 95 Talon but its not any good, It has a bit of shaft play and when I removed it there was quite a bit of oil in the intercooler pipes plus its wasnt spinning very smooth. The car was blowing a lot of blue smoke with this turbo :notgood:

I have never heard of this brand before i tried searching it but no luck. Im not even sure if this is worth rebuilding since im not 100% sure if its a trusted brand. The kid that sold me the car told me it was Turbonetics but how is that possible when it has SPD stamped on it?

I googled spc turbo's and the only thing that was worth reading was some lexus site..It said something about spc turbo kits.But I could not find an actual spc turbo website..
 
Garrett 60-1 compressor, looks like a T31 turbine, and that's definitely a Bullseye Power turbo turbine housing. As long as either of the wheels are not damaged it's fixable for sure- I stock the parts, or you can get them from someone like G-Pop Shop.
 
The last letter looked more like a D instead of a C to me.. here ia better pic of it

Yeah both of the wheels are still good, its just that oil is getting in the IC pipes:banghead:. so I guess its worth rebuilding since its not a knock off turbo?

The compressor wheel looks good. Do you have a close up of the turbine wheel and the turbine housing where the wheel sits? It appears it has been rubbing in that housing but it could be camera angle/flash. Either way we still have some of these housings available.
