Turbo rebuild in Brisbane

Can anyone recommend a turbo work shop in Brisbane that could rebuild turbos from my N54 335i?
I would like to get the stock ones hi-flowed and will be looking for reliability.

My car has 100,000km on it and the seals are leaking which seems a bit premature to me.

I got a quote from a workshop to do the full job and i nearly fell off my chair at the price, so im going to attempt remove/install myself and get them overhauled and machined locally.

Thanks
Chris

Strongly suggest you get them done from someone in the US.
They aren't that easy to rebuild
RB, VTT and pure offer turbos from 999US plus shipping.

I've had my turbo dude rebuild a pair before and put billet wheels in.

They are quite straight forward to rebuild actually. just a typical mitsubishi bush bearing thing lol.
