Trying my hand at recording

Decided I wanted to start recording my games so I built a sub-$200 setup to start. I picked up an adjustable tripod from Wal Mart, a cheap Samsung Tracphone that has Ultra Wide video recording since my iPhone 16E doesn't support it, and a chair umbrella from Dicks to help keep the phone out of direct sunlight. I opted for a phone over an actual camera because I was hoping I could wear some earbuds with a microphone so I could get some in-game commentary but either the video recording doesn't support it or I need to select it- I'm not an android guy and it took me forever to figure out how to transfer the recording from my phone to my computer. I might ditch the umbrella as some wind knocked over the tripod and I missed the entire first half. I was able to clip the highlight using Microsoft Clipchamp (not sure if this is a free program or if I get access through my company's Microsoft account).

Once I get the hang of recording and editing I'll start looking into a GoPro or another actual camera. Anyways, here's the only save I had to make in the second half.

OEM turbo options

Hey guys, I own a 2015 WRX with just over 90k. I blew the turbo over the weekend and am looking at replacement options. I'm currently tuned on Cobb running TGV/EGR deletes and a catless J-pipe so I can't retune without significant modification and am trying to get this back up ASAP. I've reached out to the local dealership for cost on an OEM turbo but I've also looked up MGT2259 options on eBay and I'm seeing some cheap (probably Chinese) turbo's for sub-$200 USD. I'm trying to get a new turbo but there are some used OEM (Garrett/Honeywell) for $3-400.

Have any of you run any of these cheaper OEM options? I don't daily the car but when I do drive it I beat on it- with very regular maintenance, of course.

I'm also considering converting to a side/bumper exit exhaust setup while I'm down there but have yet to hear back from my tuner if I can run this without a retune.

I will be doing all the work myself.

Any and all feedback is greatly appreciated.
