Haven't you guys noticed the increasing number of "help it smokes" threads? And besides, everyone knows Russians can't rebuild ----...hell, they can't even rebuild their country, right yuri? 
As for you ish, I would say your rings are goin'

I am sure that even the most retarded russian knows that just putting some standard size ebay bearings and rings in a turbo that has wear on it is unlikely to solve your smoking issues. (not balancing it is also a great way to further reduce your chances of success)
There's many different sizes of piston rings. some wider for worn out ringlands, some larger for worn out center sections. machining the shaft and center housing is of course involved. quite frankly, 80% of turbos I rebuild need oversize internals to restore their oil tightness. 100$ need a rebalancing so it lasts longer than a xsp....
