Default turbo rebuild help!!!!! Need answers and shop!!!

I just picked up this svt focus with a turbonetics kit...i new the turbo was shitting out b/c the white smoke and all...its a t3...my question is, who around newport news can rebuild it relatively cheap...OR would a new "better" charger be a better bet... i was thinking a gt28rs or something along those lines...dyno now is 212whp on 9psi...im looking for something that will put me around 250...the motor is semi built, can handle 15psi i was told. my major concern i dont want to re-do the headers, exhaust, etc. basically would like something to swap out the burnt t3 with no major fitment issues...also would it be as easy as 1.2.3? or would a new turbo charger require major tuning and parts! If anyone has a shop around here and is well known...please help me out, let me know what im working with and what would be the best turbo for her! Thanks, Brendan

Sorry, did you say WHITE smoke? Not bluish-gray smoke? I would really check out whether you have a blown head gasket instead of a turbo seal issue.
