If it's smoking you've got no chance of rebuilding it by yourself. If a turbo starts to smoke it means certain bits are worn and now require oversized parts and machining, which you won't be able to do.

wont it just be the bearing gone?

There's more parts to a turbo than a bearing.

there is no in and out movement and only side to side movement it been stood for over 2-3 years and was the first time its been used. what parts get damaged ? and machining?

them repair kits look like they have almost every part in them :)?

Worth a shot mate, my T3 has a small oil leak past the rear seal so I rebuilt it and its spot on now. Also re-built a T25 for another RTOC member which is now spot on. Just make sure you mark the positions of the wheels in relation to each other then theres no need to get it ballanced!

this may help
