    Do the math if you want to upgrade later.
    Turbonetics turbo - $600+
    brand name BOV - $180+
    T-bolt clamps - $40?+
    labor to upgrade later - $??

    nothing against you, but I dont think you know much about turbo's to give out knowlege to other people. I was in Rage's position when i first signed up on IA, asking the same stuff years ago. You can get cheap stuff turbos on IA, but you have to take into consideration of shaft play, how many miles on it, did the turbo come off of a blown motor, things like that you have to check out before buying a used turbo. $700 more for a better kit with name brand stuff is actually cheap.
