DEFINATELY TURBO, eBay is full of skanking b*stards. The bearings are more than likely fine, but u cant tell if the oil seals are gone or not. Get yourself a service kit should sort it out, if uve re-built u may aswell do the turbo too, saves messing about later on.
Yeah i agree with what your saying, but the engines done 3.5k i just can't see it, not one bit of smoke before i parked it up, been sat for i'd say 2 months, shouldn't cause problems. Not a happy bunny
