Default Which turbo to buy?

I'm interested in going turbo in the futre. I want a responsive and good turbo for a reasonable price. Are the T3/T4 hybrid turbos any good?
If not, which ones would anybody suggest me to get for a reasonable price? New or used as long as it functions properly.

Thanks Alot

HP goal is from 250-300. I want to run a turbo setup. Hopefully I can find some good parts for good prices.

By setup Im sure he means, the turbos supporting mods.
Type of manifold:
Intercooler:
Downpipe:
Injectors:
Fuel management:
Those are all important factors into a "responsive" turbo setup.

What do you consider a resonable price? $300, $500,$800?

What engine? what purpose? You must be SPECIFIC for your turbo setup.

TD06-18G would be a good choice in my opinion that would yeild 300hp with very quick spool, cheap, and abundant. But (tuboring) a car is more than buying a turbo.

Injectors you could go with DSM 450cc for cheap - 75
Exhaust mani - 300
FMIC - 300
piping 125
WG 250
bov 200
ecu 450
tune 400
so before you even decide on a turbo your looking at 2100

So you can do like ricers do and get on ebay and buy you a kit for 500.00 or be smart and do it right and spend 3K or more
