ARGH! FREAKIN' ARGH! 
Please note: this quote is not from the people that are looking at my turbo - but from one of like 10 companies that I e-mailed regarding rebuilding my VF30 when I found out it was defective:

Richard,
Sorry for the delay in response; IHI was closed until this morning.
It appears that IHI will not be making service parts (other than complete
turbo and cartridge assemblies) available for the entire VF-series of
turbochargers.
I don't have a secondary source for internal parts. The only offer I can
make would be to physically try to match small parts such as bearings and
seal rings.
Very Best Regards,
Mike

My guy should still be able to fix it. He rebuilt my BB Bozz Speed Turbo so this one should be no problem.
IF ONLY HE WOULD CALL ME BACK!
I will call him again tommorow.

What IHI America is saying is that they're not selling any parts or kits for VF turbos in America.
I guess we're stuck going through to IHI Japan or trying to find "like parts" that will fit our VF applications.

Dunno. I guess that means it's time to buy a new turbo when something happens to a VF series turbo?
