Thanks man that's what I was looking at on phearable.net. So does everyone think it's worth it to keep the turbo I have and get it rebuilt for the power I wanna make

if your low on funds, get an ebay turbo and use a restrictor until you get a name brand.. If you have the $$$, get the same size name brand. Bigger turbo isnt always better.

just my .02

Check oil pressure at the line first. If getting ebay, god only knows if to use one or what size.

Rebuilding your current turbo would be the most prudent choice.
