Ive got 240K on my original stock turbo. Is it more economic? lets see $60 new wheel, $1000. new turbo. Hmm, O.k. ,o.k. lets just say you shopped fleabay, Used stock turbo $250 and you don't know how it was treated. If you are worried about the bearings take it to a turbo shop and have it rebuilt. If it is leaking at the pedistal replace the o-rings.
