New turbo?

I'm just throwing it out to everyone out there, i'm looking at getting a new turbo and wondering what the best bang for the buck is. I just want something that works good for towing and the street and that wont blow my heads through the hood.

Why do you think you need a new turbo?

Thats why we're here. To keep people from doing dumb stuff like buying new turbos when they don't need them.




To the OP, How will you tune it?
Are you doing the trans as well?

The bearing if hootched and it has too much free play in it. It squeels on start up. So if i'm spending $3500 on a stock turbo just thought maybe spend a little more and get something half decent. Like i said before i want everyone elses opinion on it.
