not sure if they do them, but this guy I will link you too rebuilds turbos for skylines/180s etc etc.... perhaps if you sent him a photo he could say "yeah that will cost..."

To high flow (total rebuild plus high flow) a skyline/180 turbo it's around $800

Note he uses journal bearings, not Ball bearing. Whether that is a problem or not is debatable...but the guys on that forum have had no probs with them. I know the same job through garret with a BB turbo is $1400...
