The way i see it, you dont want to spend money, so just get an OEM T28 or its roller bearing counterpart ( GT28R aka GT2560R). It will still cost you money, a turbo is expensive. But stay away from ebay specials, again. Remember these things turn at 150.000rpm. Garrett makes flanges able to resist an exploding turbo throwing bits of metal in every direction and contains it in the flange. Dont believe chinese crap is doing the same.
GT28RS and GT2871R are not very far pricing wise. May as well get the 71. There is a reason everyone uses it: it works very well.
Also forget the "S15 turbo" story, they are not ball bearing turbos. The legend says they are, but the truth is only late JDM S14a and early JDM S15 had the roller bearing version, all the others had a regular T28.

It's not like ''i dont want to spend money'' , i just want to keep my s14 driveable everyday to work , colege etc , but the main reason i bought her is for drifting
, just dont want to keep the car in the garage because 2 many mods that would fu** the car because daily driving.
