CA Help identifying this turbo

Hello everyone, picked this up yesterday, it has some shaft play, i was thinking of re-building it, just want to see if any turbo experts can please tell me what i have and if it is worth my effort to rebuild it.
Most of the other parts were good quality, hks cast manifold hks wastegate turbonetics turbine housing. So i think this may be worth re-building.

Any info would be greatly appreciated. Was on an s5 t2. Guy told me he ran 12 second pass with this set up.
Also does this wastegate look like the real deal?

Thank you for taking the time to look/respond. Jr.

Saw the on CL too. Nice score! You have to take the covers off and measure the wheels to figure out what it is. Looks pretty beastly.

Sorry, I can't identify the wastegate as good/bad. It does appear to be missing the adjustment spring and screw though.

Looks like an eBay turbo that someone slapped a turbonetics exhaust housing on.

+1.

the manifold/wg/turbine housing are good pieces. i would expect the turbine is a .81 Ptrim, but you'll have to measure.
