    Did you prime the bearings properly and oil feed before running for the first time?

    I'd say get a second hand one instead, feedback on that turbo was 1 sold and a nuetral comment "pas en probleme" which translates to piece of shit in my dictionary. Tried all them x-s power turbos/ disco buscuit etc years ago and they were all false economies, even after priming them properly they would shit themselves after you put a load on them.
