Im working on swapping the L28 turbo motor out of a datsun 280zx into a 240z.I got the motor for $150 and it runs great but the turbo shaft had about a half inch of play, so i need a new one. I was looking at some of the ebay turbos and wanted some feedback from whoever runs one or has bought one. any info you can give me is good.

i've always been told never to buy a turbo off eBay unless they're reputable, and by that i don't mean SSauto

dont touch XS power for sure...the compressor housings are known to be glued together and obviously crack easy as hell...
