dude my turbo puked oil for about 5 minutes, it might be fine. Try putting a little valve on the oil feed to limit the pressure

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!

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.
