You're not going to find a very good turbo for $400. Plan to spend at least $600-800 for a decent 57-60mm turbo. Only way to get a decent turbo for $400 range is if it's used. I bought my Turbonetics T62-1 turbo new for around $800. I sold it for around $500 or something like that with about a year of use on it.

My new HKS T51R turbo costs around $3000 just for the turbo alone

its amazing...even after his car burns jeff takes the time to help and answer you. your even being rude to the guy on here with probably the most info on the turbo gs300. if i were u i would stop burning bridges ESPECIALLY with someone like JeffTsai who has been through ALL or MOST of the stuff your fixing to go through and could possibly help you in the future. just my $0.02 though....do what u wish man, just trying to help you out

wow...um i really didnt mean for that to sound rude? I was just kind of stating a fact..sorry if it seemed rude...didnt mean for it to be like that at all.. (and this might be a shot in the dark...but i think you probably just assumed it was rude b/c of our "history")

You seem rude on alot of your posts. You just get snappy it seems. Your asking for help ppl give you opinions or point you to a better product and you get all pissy. Its just the way it comes across.
