ebay turbo rebuild kit, what does it fit?

[TimF]

A couple months ago I bought a nice bulk of parts to slowly rebuild my old dd talon over the winter. Aside from a FMIC its was a stock rebuild that was going to use my old 14b. Having 170k on it I thought it would benefit from a rebuild. I made the mistake of ordering a ebay rebuild kit ( did not read reviews first). After the few months of a slow rebuild in my spare time I decided to do the turbo today only to find out that NOTHING fits in the turbo. The bearings, seals, everything all are slightly to big and wont work. Being mad I came to my computer and ordered the right rebuild kit. I was hoping to go back and ask the seller maybe if he would refund me if i send it back, but its been so long that its not even in my sales history anymore, and I doubt paypal would let me open a claim being how old it is. My question is, does anyone know what turbo this kit actally fits then so I might try and sell it cheaper and gain some money back. Like does it fit only ebay tdo5 turbos (it was listed as a Mitsubishi tdo5 14b 16g 20g rebuild kit). or am I stuck with a unusable kit? (or if anyone knows how to go that far back into my purchase history)

eBay turbos don't use the same internals as a regular MHI turbo. Your kit will only fit a eBay turbo

Yup, you definitely bought a kit for a knockoff TD05 turbo.

eBay 1, consumer 0.

Well that help maybe I can sell it to someone with a blown ebay turbo, should be tons of those sitting around,

...most of which nobody wants to repair when they can buy a complete new turbo for $180.
