Vic,

 

  The turbo I have I got on eBay.  I got it off of a Turbo Sales Company in Canada.

It is a brand new Garrett GT1544.  They sell for about $750-$800 normally.  I lucked onto

this one, because the seller had a very little reserve, and not very many other bidders.

Anyway, I got for a grand total of $260 incl. s/h from Canada.

 

  The GT1544 is the smallest turbo Garrett makes.  See attached photo.  It is made for engines 

in the 800 to 1000cc range.  This turbo is quite often used on modified motorcycles.  My application 

is intended to keep the boost VERY mild.  Quite often, race car engine builders speak of 20 to 30 psi

boost.  All I want is 5 psi MAX.  This is because; as long as you stay with 5 psi boost, the ECU

engine's computer) will make the fuel/air adjustments automatically for you
