Average starting price to re-build a garrett turbo is $340 so choose
carefully. If I were you, putting a turbo on a stock engine, I'd run a
maximum of about 10 psi boost and try and keep it around 7psi or you'll run
into problems. If you want low end power then go for a t25 and if you want
more mid-top go for the t28. If you want a good read, I'd recommend the book
Maximum Boost by Corky Bell. I have read it over and over again, and it is
aimed specifically at people like you!
When you check out the turbo, make sure it spins but whatever you do, DON'T
bend the blades inside or your stuft!! Apart from that, you can only find
out if it is stuft by a) putting it on your car and run it or b) pull it
apart and check it over.
Before you start though, go and invest $50 on that book and you can't go
wrong!!
Average price for a second hand one is around $3-400 so the $240 one sounds
like a good one if it's not blown up!
