Default What to do?

I purchased a Rev Hard turbo kit with a T/3-T/4 Turbo a few years back and to my disappointment i recently blew my turbo... it ceased up. Now, i have the option of rebuilding the turbo(est. $950+) or replacing it with a new turbo($1000-$2500). So here's my dilemma.. Should i rebuild or buy a new turbo? and if i do replace my old turbo, which turbo should i get without having to change my current setup (i wanna keep the new turbo where the old one was)?

I would buy a new turbo, if you're going to spend close to the amount fixing it why not just buy a newer and more reliable one. Btw how is the revhard turbo kit? any regrets? thoughts?

Yes my thoughts as well.

Dealing with many different turbo's, its best to purchase a new one. it doesnt hurt to rebuild one, but the question in hand is........what kinda flange is it? you said itsa t3/t4 turbo.......but for example.....does your flange fit Mitsubishi's or what not? cuz alot of turbo kits ive seen uses them.....

the point i was getting at was if its a known flange you have more of a variety turbo's to choose from.
