Looking for a good but inexpensive turbo for my project car.

Going to be using stock T3 exhaust manifold but with 3" exhaust and custom downpipe. Will be using engine management. Just something decent for a 2.8L motor looking for some good power boosting no more than 14psi with an intercooler. Looking for the best power but also decent spoolup time.

Do any of these turbos look like they could be a good bet or will the quality just be too ****ty? they dont look all that bad imo

I ran one for a while, no problems, I've had a couple of friends run them at high boost for a while, w/ no problems.

When I ran my Ebay turbo I was pushing about 4 PSI on stock injectors, it was a "T3/T4 57 trim .63 hot side stg 3"

I tried the stock injectors a 4psi on my 50 trim Turbonetics turbo and and was more than maxing out the injectors, that should say something.

They work fine but have a tendency to flow less than a comparable brand name turbo.
