how much money can you spend when you say you're not a money bag? Usually the turbo KAs that blow are the people who do cheap turbo set ups... let's face it, good parts cost money, buying used/questionable parts might end up costing more. i think $2500+ can get you a good relaible set up if its done right, anythingless I would be wary... do asearch on nicoclub.com, zilvia.net, FA, most of the cheaper turbo set ups end up going kaboom.
