Re:turbo problems
if by chance you do go for another turbo,try to find a 14b(td05h) with no shaft play,its a great turbo and will support up to 250-275hp (depending on the application)
http://www.dsmtrader.com see them on there alot for around $100-$200 you might wanna check ebay aswell,good luck!

Re:turbo problems
Used turbos are tricky. But since everybody on here, including myself, uses them we have to just deal with it. Dont get pissed off! I spent ever a thousand dollars on my setup and after a weekend of bliss, my turbo died. Its still sitting in my garage waiting for parts to come in so I can run a new setup. ---- happens and at least you can learn from the experience so the next time something does go wrong you will know what to do.
