I almost pulled the trigger this summer, but found my 30ff code. So, I'll stay the course until my turbos kick the bucket.

Yeah I'm not paying 1600$ for new turbos when OE replacements are bout 1000$. It's just a matter of principle.

You're right. But still that can go bad and cause oil to go into the intake or exhaust side?
Point is, if I buy new CHRA it's basically a brand new turbo right? All I am keeping from the old is the housing and the wastegate. There seems to be a popular website here TurboPartsCanada but no one dealt with them on here so I'm a bit afraid.
