eBay Turbo Garbage?
So, I just checked my turbo for shaft play for kicks and its wiiggling; the damned thing is relatively loose and has been rubbing against the inside wall of the inlet as it spun. Oil was always provided to the turbo with a restrictor as well, so lack of lubrication couldn't of caused this. Anyone have similar experiences?
Just great, thank god I'm not too upset considering they sell for $200.00
I need some good recommendations for a new turbo, something of decent quality; a Garrett or something with an internal wastegate perhaps. But also won't break the bank.

This is basically what I have, the exhaust manifold is the exact same one.

Get a Garret T3/T4 .50 or .57 trim turbo. May be able to find it with the 5 bolt exhaust housing and use the same downpipe. If not, a simple conversion to 4 bolt or Vband would get you on track.
You'll probably want bigger injectors too. They look very small.
Find one of these:

Used would save you some bucks.
