this is what i do. i just toss in used turbos. as long as they run decient. they are cheap. i crank up the boost to the limit. when the turbo brakes, i just toss in another used one. the last turbo i broke, the turbine axel broke. thats when i upgraded to a new greddy td06. it was too big. i ended up building my car up around the turbo. i make the same boost, and im $2,500 poorer for doing so. that why i pulled the td06 and went back to stock. i still make 14 psi.

it cost to much to convert a NA to a turbo. even if you got the moter, trans, ecu, wireharness. you still need the IC, the pipes,... i know all that stuff is listed in the add, but its alot of labor. a mk3 moter/trans remove& replace is much easier than you think.
