Turbos are proven crap (slow spooling and will blow seals for no reason, sometimes they wont... but crappily made on a whole)
so yeah with that said... just peice it together yourself... get a b series cast iron manifold... a junk yard real garrett turbo like saab 900 (100-200$)-->will spool much faster than the ebay crap t04e 57 trim BS... ... a knockoff wastegate/bov... ebay piping/ fmic.... make your own oil line at barnets performance.... modify an ebay downpipe to bolt to the saab turbo... get a crome chip and some injectors and you're good.
