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.
