You clearly aren't listening to anyone here with more experience than you who is telling you NOT to use this turbo, so here is what you NEED to do. Send the turbo to Forced Performance to make sure it is even worth the $100 you paid for it. Just because it is a turbo does NOT mean it is good for a DSM.
From the Forced Performance Website:
"A typical turbo rebuild is $345.00, and involves the following steps:
Complete disassembly and inspection - turbos we receive are identified, marked, and torn down to component level. Each part is inspected for wear and/or damage, and cause of failure is identified.
Cleaning and sandblasting - Turbine and compressor housings, bearing housing, and turbine wheel are sandblasted and refinished. If your housings are specially coated, we clean them with solvents to avoid damage to the coating. The bearing housing is flushed with solvent and honed, and the turbine shaft is polished to a mirror finish.
Blueprinting - Journal bearing bores are measured for oil clearance. All reusable items are checked against specification.
Reassembly - Turbo is reassembled with new journal and thrust bearings, o-rings, piston rings, fasteners, thrust collars, and seal plates.
Balancing - Turbos are dynamically spin balanced as a complete assembly to less than half the manufacturers allowable limit. If your turbo requires replacement parts due to excessive wear or damage, that price can go up depending on the extent of the damage. Also, while having your turbo rebuilt, inquire about the many upgrade possibilities available for most turbos."
That is the route I think you should go.
