What more info do you need over what myself and Ruan have said?
You either go balls in, put a cheap ebay copy rebuild kit on and not balance it, and hope for the best - tbh I'd only do this if you think the turbo is shagged anyway and you've got nothing to loose.
Or you get a genuine garrett rebuild kit and have it VSR'd, but for the money you may as well get a refurb core on an exchange basis from a reputable company. Because the chances are if you've got play, or oil passing or whatever, you may have damage to the shaft too.
Unless its passing a crap load of oil or has serious play I'd just leave it alone. I don't see the point rebuilding it with none oem parts just for the fun of it.
If you mark the compressor wheel relative to the shaft / turbine and get it 99% back in the same place you shouldn't be too far out. You have to think that any turbos with damaged blades will be effectively out of balance too. It will just shorten the life of the turbo to some degree depending on how far out it is. These things spin up to insane rpm.
Theres a chance too that the turbine and comp wheels are balanced individually - I'm 90% sure they are on my gt2260v for example, so its not as big a deal swapping bits around
