Garrett T28 from something like a Nissan SR20DET would do nicely. But not the T25G, it'll surge and die if asked to boost at low rpm.

so you have manifold etc and just want the snail?

GU genuine kits come up on ebay for $1000-1500 occasionally, dont know how much cheaper you think you'll go if you need manifold pipes etc.

I run a CT-26 from a Celica GT-4 on mine, same as what the 1HD-T's have except these ones have ceramic exhaust wheel.

Replaced ceramic wheel and shaft with a steel one after the wheel come adrift from the shaft and upgraded to Garrett T-04B compressor wheel at same time. Then went bigger compressor wheel again to a T-04E 56 trim which is slightly too big for general offroad work.

Most of the kits i've seen on eBay and the likes have had what they called a "GU" turbo, no doubt a factory unit.

I spose you could sort of pick and choose a turbo to suit your driving style and what the vehicle gets used for if you really wanted. You could use a turbo off a smaller diesel motor (2lt or 3lt) if the motor was going to be used in lower RPM situations, and maybe a bigger turbo (T3 or T04) off a petrol motor if you wanted something suited to mid to high RPM. A smaller turbo would suit me cause i'm happy to drive like grandpa. Slow and steady.....

On another note, what are people most likely to go for:
a) second hand turbo kit off eBay or similar for $1000-$1500
b) turbo kit from a workshop (drive-in drive-out) for $4500-$6000

Obviously the main difference is new parts, dyno tuning, and labour, but is it really worth the extra $4k-$5k??

I'm sure there's plenty of poeple on here that have gone either way for their own personal reasons - i'm sure they can give an opinion.

Coxy

(waiting for someone to say "Is it worth the risk on a second hand kit?")
