Skoda Octavia 1.9 TD OEM Turbo?

[MD5]

2009 Octavia 1.9 TD BXE engine (I'm in the wrong place, I know, but I know some of you guys are very knowledgeable!).

Does anyone know if Garrett turbos are OEM, and whether or not reconditioned turbos should be avoided at all costs please?

They were on the earlier cars. Same VNT model as my MB but smaller.

No, it just depends on the quality. Ask Jay.
