Ive got the exact same turbo on my car, from the same company, and its been smooth sailing so far. Over 20,000 miles on it and no shaft play or oil burning, just watch out for the wastegate, mines not working anymore so i have to work around it

. Some people are very opinionated when it comes to Ebay turbos, and i can understand why after hearing some of the horror stories. Just make sure you fill the center section with oil before you fire it up for the first time, and disconnect the coil and let the motor turn over for a little while to get the turbo primed with oil.
