2G Stock GSX turbo problem

[GlomerEclipsePro_7]

Hey guys, I know I don't post much, I'm looking for advice
I've been repairing my stock turbo at a turbo repair shop place and it's been two times I've need them to repair it, and the issue is I only use it literally one day, and then there's a lot of whitish smoke coming out of the exhaust of one day of using the car, I don't abuse the car while driving this is the second time, I take off the turbo and there's a lot of shaft play, and this is my third time, what seems to be the problem? My trusted mechanic of years says that the place is not doing their job correctly on fixing my turbo right, rn my gsx is just in the drive way it sad I can't drive it, what should I do in this case?
Either one, go back for the third time, tell them that it's still same, I drive it one day, smoke comes out, I take out the turbo and hell of shaft play that I find.

Or two, I've been tempted to buy this stock gsx turbo that I saw at Walmart online that there selling it's basically the same thing.

Any advice, If I missed something lmk, ask me any advice is appreciated to me.

PS: I've had other problems minor I I'm would say and I've gotten things fixed but nothing has given me a harder time than this turbo issue and I don't wanna give up easy and be having to let it go. Thanks

Could be your mechanic is right. But the cause could be something different. Maybe your car has oil pressure issue, oil feed issue or something was wrong with the installation etc etc. You should make sure that the issue is not in your car side first before taking the next action. Other wise you would keep destroying the turbo.

If you are talking about the turbo in the last pic, that's not the original turbo from 2g DSM. That's a TD04HL which is taken from a RVR or Chariot. I don't know how much it costs in the listing but with that money probably you can find a good used 14b, 16g or a T25 in case if you want to keep the car stock. T25 would probably be the cheapest way since you wouldn't need extra parts and work to install on a 2g.

if its blue, it's oil getting burnt, if its white it's either unburnt fuel or coolant, if it's black, too much fuel been burnt, good rule of thumb, so you're chasing problem either on coolant or un burnt fuel, stock turbo also has coolant cooling lines, so I would start with that, but as DSMPT mentioned, triple check oil pressure, turbo will die in minutes of use without proper oil, lubricant, no to mention you will damage engine too, so check all lines and oil pressure, and check your spark plugs, spark plugs tell you exactly how car been working internally, you might be chasing wrong part of the engine here, leaking injector in example

Per the above posts that is not a t25 and is not a 100% bolt on.
