Doesn't look like a genuine Borg Warner turbo to me, there's meant to be a big K in that triangle as shown below



Also that is a K04 shell so won't fit without oil/water lines, TIP, manifold and custom downpipe

There always in the classifieds here, I would go for a genuine one or one that's been rebuilt properly just for peace of mind more than anything
ARZ K03s, Oettinger Side Skirts, R32 front, Carbon stage 2, Forge 007p (yellow spring), Forge Actuator (yellow spring), Pipercross panel filter with DSG parts, N249 and N112 deleted, SAI deleted, Carbon canister deleted, Rear wiper deleted, Long Life turbo back custom exhaust with 200 cell sports cat, VR6/G60 clutch kit, Creation Motorsport TIP, Catch can, 'Wellycooler', K04 charge pipe, S3 ported inlet manifold - looks pretty standard on the outside though :)

Yeah, i have left that one now, a cheap turbo is never a good idea.
