Got the blues

Well, I noticed some blue smoke immediately upon start-up on my 4 cyl 9.5. It was once a week since January now it is almost every morning. Funny I am adding zero oil in-between my 3000 mile oil changes. It is definitely oil (blue) and not coolant. My coolant level is perfect. The PVC valve checks in the right direction so I am suspecting that the turbo seal is weeping??? I was going to tackle the replacement myself. Has anyone ever rebuilt a 9.5 turbo using a kit like this???

This kit and it is about 1/5th the cost of a rebuilt unit. Is it really possible to rebuild the stock unit with hand tools and retaining the balancing? Should I just pony up and buy a new unit. I love the car, aside from this it has been trouble free.
