Internally-gated turbo?

It's been a minute since I've logged on and I can't find the ka24de-t section anymore :S

Anyways, I got my hands on a JGS manifold this weekend (traded my widebody fenders for it) and honestly I'm stoked because even though it's good quality there's no way I could shell out 400+ bucks for it :P

Story of my life, so my question is about this here: http://store.max-redline.com/servlet/-s ... ger/Detail

I did get a generic wastegate and dump pipe with the manifold but I need a turbo anyways, and this would simplify things by not having to replumb the wastegate or worry about it failing on me at some point, not to mention free up a little space and lighten the manifolds load a little.

I know, cheap parts is taboo, but I did have a turbo handed down by them that was respectable in quality, but I haven't thought of nabbing a turbo that's internally gated until now. Anyways, shoot!

Someone in town here runs an ebay turbo on his civic. Seems to be holding up fine, he checks it regularly and always lets the car idle cool after running it hard.

I honestly wouldn't go that cheap, but the only experience I have with them is that civic and it is holding up okay.
