Those older ones use too large of an exhaust wheel that will affect response. You have a MILLION choices, but that is one to ignore.

That's about $800USD as of yesterday's exchange rates. That amount of money keeps you in the smaller turbo ranges until you go up another 40pounds.

what's the engine application and purpose of the car?
you'll be in the standard Garrett Journal bearing config (or equivalent) with $800 in mind.

thats what i was going to say... i would look into the precision line up as there turbos are really getting good reviews....

5857 precision would be a good option as well.... the ported shroud is pretty bad *** as well...
