don't try making 1 good one out of the 2, you'll just destroy the turbo. they are highly balanced pieces of kit and reach speeds of over 100krpm (yes 100 thousand). If you haven't done a turbo before and have little or no mechanical knowledge I would strongly advise sending your unit to a turbo specialist or get a 2nd hand one.
It sounds like your core unit is sound enough to recon but until it's taken apart you can't say for sure.
