You would have to redo your piping, but you can pick them up almost brand new for around $400.

Another turbo that would be great would be a EvoIII 16 G. Fast spool and good top end potential. I think the max out at around 320 on pump gas. Then there is the new HTA68 billet wheel from forced performance. Might spool a little slow on that motor though.

the big 16g is good up to 350hp and is at full boost about 3600-3800rpm on my single
