I would say a GReddy kit would be ideal. Although, you can checkout http://www.homemadeturbo.com and you can piece together your own turbo for cheaper! Good luck.

The Ebay kits are crap, but you can use ebay to buy your pieces.

Throw some vitara pistons and some eagle rods in and boost 15psi with a gt28. Should last for a while with a good tune. When that goes, buy another one for $500.

if u dont wanna build... get a dsm turbo.
