pulling one would be kind of fun, but i am troubled by the idea that they are bulletproof. how can i avoid buying one with the same leaky seal inside? also, maybe i should prefer a KKK because of its easier boost adjustment?

Don't mess with a KKK, get a Garett. Go to the PNP and get a turbo that has good turbines and no end play and rebuild it with a kit off eBay or wherever - should cost $60 give or take.. That way you know it's good and you'll minimize downtime and cost...and probably have some fun in the process!
Heck get two rebuild kits and rebuild yours when you take it off and sell it to finance your replacement.
