You got more info on the turbo? As long as it’s not much bigger than HY/HX specs it sounds like itd be a good fit for your mods.

A quick search of the info you gave on the Garrett turbo returned a majority of turbos suited for cars. So without an actual model number off the Garrett, I wouldn't use it.  I'm also wary of Cardone, purely because they supply parts stores with remanufactured turbos and charge 1k for them.

As for your current turbo, 1/4" is a lot of radial play, but if there is 0 axial play and the compressor wheel isn't hitting the housing, its OK to run. My suggestion would be to pick up a good used genuine holset turbo (can be found on Facebook for $300 or less), or if you're adventurous, try rebuilding it yourself. 

Do you have larger injectors? If not, is going to be laggy. A 62 mm is usually a good first turbo upgrade for those looking for more power. A 62 can be run with stock injectors, but it is also laggy.

Those will help with a 62 mm. But they're way too small for a 66 mm.  My recommendation still is to either find a good hx35, rebuild your current one, or consider a 62/65/12
