The turbo is whats referred to as an "ebay" turbo.... I rebuilt a blown ebay turbo many years back with a real center section and ran it for 40K miles with no issue. Would not do it again, probably got lucky. Ran an oil restrictor and kept an eye on shaft play.

You could replace the turbo with a more established brand, but IMO still need oft/ecutek... I wouldn't trust the unichip for a turbo application. Figure up to a few grand to get it done "right"

This could be a fun project or a nightmare experience depending on many factors
