Only worth it if the housing isn't cracked, can't really tell from the pics, and yes easy enough to do and loads of tutorials if you never done it before

Looks like a whole new impeller and maybe more, they aren't expensive in comparison to a new  turbo, but unless you were planning on going hybrid, just buy a decent used K03s

I've got a whole set of K03s internals mate if you want them, for a few quid of course.

If you can get that K03s for less then £50 quid I'd say go for it, but like asbo said, if its propper knackered you could get it rebuilt as a hybrid, wont cost too much more than just replacing the knackered parts. If your handy with the spanners and have a steady hand I could talk you though it, or if you dont fancy a diy give littco a shout.
