Hmmm yah I thought XSPower/SSAUTOCHROME/Stone Racing/etc were all the same ebay crap turbos. But hopefully it lasts for you.

This one looks like yours I think http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Super...temZ8041457207

Yeah, they're all the same company. On all those auctions look and see who the "Contact us" and "Support" emails go to, it's all SSAC. 'Garrett wheel and internals' does not mean Garrett CHRA, it might mean wheel.. and maybe the shaft? Maybe one of the bearings somewhere?
