I know a couple of guys i work with bought their turbo's off ebay, replaced the seals/bearings and then they are good to go with a turbo that was essentially half off. Thats all ive heard of, inferior seals/bearings.

i tried my luck with an ebay turbo (not the kit, just the turbo itself). the turbo ran for all of 10 minutes while i was tuning the car before the bearings went.
FYI, most of these ebay turbo's use parts that failed the quality tests from the larger manufacturers (Garrett/Holset/BW/etc..) so running one will be hit or miss.
i wouldnt waste my time.
