All eBay turbos will start to smoke over time. Each unit will be different as there are no quality controls in the manufacturing process. What surprises me is that you were even able to find one for $500.. the same turbo is on eBay for 120

i've seen that too. i actually just bought one used that was never installed but the guy had it rebuilt with new parts. got a deal on it. but, i think that if it were rebuilt with name brand parts, basically all that is cheap is the houseing and shaft and fins. but, the seals and bearings would be what i would worry about anyway.
