Default Is it worth it to rebuild my busted turbo and resell it?

So I have my busted turbo, a K04, and am wondering what to do with it. There were only 35k miles on it before it blew. I don't know exactly what is wrong with it, but I know that the impeller is loose and the vanes are bent.

Are there some good turbo rebuild shops that you guys can recommend? how much do you think I could get for a rebuilt turbo compared to the price of rebuilding it? Should I do the K16 impeller swap and will that help the resell?

Or should I just clean it up and mount it on a plaque?

Thanks!

my opinion: sell it as is, reveal all issues, and let the buyer do what they want to it.
