GT-35R.
How in the world did you blow your turbo? You need an oil feed line filter especially on a built motor that's breaking in. ANY garbage at all in the CHRA of a BB turbo = BOOM.
Is your car smoking out the tail pipe? And even if it is, are you sure its the turbo? Have you checked for shaft play, compressor damage, "crunchy" shaft rotation?

if you can tear down and rebuild an engine...
you can R&R the steering rack.
I did a write-up in the tech section on it. Take a gander and see how it goes. It's more of a PITA than anything. Didn't help that I did it hungover as hell either, but that's neither here nor there

How'd I know you were going to suggest a gt35?? lol-->
Weeeeee bit-o-shaft play, no crunchy sounds/feeling. I had the whole turbo apart before I put it on and everything looked ok. I did notice some oily shmeg on the inside of the comp housing though (!!!!).

like 3-4 hours maybe?
I honestly don't remember dude. It def took longer than it should of because I didn't have all the right tools (or adjustable wrenches to mimic the right tools :-P), so there were delays to go get the right tools, and I was REALLLLLY hung over, so I wasn't thinking as clearly as I should have been
