is this turbo acceptable?

Right on the money. You said much of what I was trying to put down earlier. Especially if it's the first time messing around with turbo'd engines, the safest bet is to get a system that is already engineered for the purpose.

My main objection with eBay parts is that they almost always need a rebuild. An imbalanced turbo, or one with bad bearings can spell major mulah($$$$$). You just never know what you'll get.
