Got mine from tweakit (website). Was the best price i've found and service was pretty good. Horsepowerinabox.com were the same price. I think it was around $1450 at the time.

Make sure you have a 1mm reduced in the oil line, or you will be smoking up big time...

I just used run-of-the-mill fittings provided by enzed - no reducer as such, and no problems with mine.

Also probably be best off with the RS - it comes with plain inlets/outlets rather than the model-specidic flanges provided on some other versions. fyi. the one with a .84 A/R exhaust comes with a t3 ex. flange, the .64 version has a T25 ex flange.

the reducer is there so you supply less oil to the turbo as the ball bearing turbos do not need as much oil as a journal turbo does to lubricate it. if you get the one with the .64 a/r with the t25 flange pm me and i will tell you where you can get a 1 piece adaptor for it if you are going to use the 1hdt manifold. also if you do use the 1hdt manifold you might have to modify your wastgate actuator bracket as it might hit on the block. i had to modify my bracket on mine with the gt2871r
