Yes i believe that is an ebay turbo.

Yes. It's easy to tell as it says the word "TURBOCHARGER" on the tag.

Ya that defiantly looks like a ebay one.

Damn that sucks. I don't plan on running any more then 15 lbs, do you guys think that it will last?

You will never know till you try.I bought a car with a 16g that looked identical to that.I ran around 21/22 psi on it and was logging between 28 to 30 lbs per min.I ran the turbo for almost a year and never got any shaft play or smoke before i replaced it..The one thing about it was spool time sucked for a 16g.I mean like full spool of 22 psi at around 3800 rpm.
