​​​​​​​What is wrong with your turbo? Shaft play?

If you're looking for more power, ask for his 20G upgrade.

You could also rebuild it yourself, its not too difficult unless you have like zero tools/skill to work on any part of the car. I have rebuilt several and even converted one to a 7 blade 20g wheel, been running that one @ 27psi for a while and so far its holding up. And so are the other rebuilt turbos lol.

The 20g build I did, I had a local shop balance the stock turbine wheel independently. I could have had them balance the compressor wheel and turbine wheel as an assembly but the billet 20g wheel was already balanced. However the stock turbo rebuilds I just marked the shaft/nut/compressor blade and after rebuilding the chra I lined all the marks up so no need to rebalance.

I looked at my purchase history and apparently the seller no longer sells the kit, Ill keep an eye out maybe they just sold out. It looks like other people have had success using the turbolab rebuild kit sold on ebay, If you don't mind spending $100 then you can get the mamba rebuild kit.
