Their new manifolds seem to hold up OK, their older ones were terrible. The turbos generally go through seals quicker than most brand names. The wastegates are terrible, I'd strongly suggest NOT using them!

It'll flow more air than the stock TII turbo, reliability of the turbo will be a little bit less.

probably a bit more than a little, i loved the pic of the guy who took his apart to show how they 'glued' the cold side housing to the cartridge.

easy way to find out is pull the TID off and check the end play and feel the bearings for roughness or excessive drag.
