Getting together my turbo kit

[Totalimmortal]

dude those china turbos are fine for a budget build...im using one i got off ebay for 150$ with flange and oil lines.mines been fine for over 1000+miles so far..just use a oil restictor and itl be fine.
BUT if you had the money go ahead and get a garrett or turbonetics.

to me if you're that tight on a budget a used oem turbo with low miles would make more sense

Compression test results are in!
This is what I got today when I did the test. I don't know what is really standard for my car, but I think this is good news:
208, 209, 204, 208.
I think it's a green light for turbo, so the project is about to get underway. I'll be buying pieces and putting up pics and stuff starting in a few weeks.
