Cheap, fast, reliable, you can only pick two of those....

Garrett turbos are pretty much one the cheaper name brand turbo Co's and they probably have one of the best reputations. $550 is right around starting point for the 57trim and $650 for 5 bolt

You buy used, you rebuild sooner then expected... rebuild cost you $250-$400 better off with new turbo.

x2 Holset is always a good choice to go with. And they are on the cheap side.
