Default Reliable turbo?

As the title said, i was doing some research and i came up with the conclusion of what i want to do with my teg, i want to gain some hp, not much though, i dont want like 260+ or anything, i just want something that'll go fast when need be.
Also, since i've had an accident in the past while racing (wasnt my car), my girl doesnt want me racing my own car, so i'm trying to get something that isn't too "hard core" or tempting, and cost is also a factor to a certain degree, so i thought just get a lower stage turbo, but i cant seem to find any.. any advise is greatly appreciated
P.S. i'd like to find something that's not going to blow up my stock internals etc.

Seems like you might want to find a used Greddy turbo kit, sounds perfect for what your looking for. Some people will say ditch the greddy fuel management and get something better. Its a small turbo, quick spool, and should give you your little "omph" when you need it.

buying a used greddy kit would be about the same price as building your own kit, if not less.

for the original poster, i think the greddy kit would suite you best. You can find them used for cheap and you will not have any fitment issues. Just bolt the thing on and drive. The only con about the greddy kit is it doesnt make power, so if you see yourself wanting more than 300whp, then look else where. But seeing what you want, i would say go with a used greddy kit, spend some extra money for engine management and get the car tuned.

Ive been through 3 setups already, t3/t4, sc61, and now the greddy kit. Trust me, it isnt so bad. Good luck man
