it was a secondhand turbo from a mate, stage 2, with a bit of play,and a bit of smoke on startup sometimes, i used it for about 6 months gradually getting worse, took engine out in october, put it back on the road in february with the turbo on it (ran outta money!),........smoking sometimes on overrun and boost..

had a setup and boost rise to 21 psi in march, lasted 2 days and smoke everywhere... p.t.s said it was totally fooked (lol) and couldnt get away with seals and bearings so they rebuilt the whole lot,for 535.
