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

We don't know what your hp goals and what your setup will be.

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
