Chinese turbos not containing explosions? Funny, Garrett turbos are made in China! Either way kid I'm going to set all this bullshit info straight for you.
Gt28R- pretty much a s15 ball bearing turbo $850 You can run it just fine on factory boost with your engine just the way it is until you save more $ for more mods.
Gt28rs (disco potato) $1200 slightly better than the above. You can run factory boost on it just fine as above. No maf or injectors needed at 7psi.
Gt2871r (the shit) I bought mine on this forum for $1k NEW. Capable of over 400hp You can run factory boost on your maf and injectors as long as you dont beat the shit out of it. Just cruise and save your funds up until you can afford to crank up the boost.

People are going to tell you to save up your money until you can "do it right" Idk about you but i work full time and go to college full time as well and Im not rich. If I saved up to purchase all this shit at once it would never happen. I bought it one piece at a time and played it smart. Of course dont put an upgraded turbo on and raise hell with factory fuel system but that doesnt mean you cant upgrade one step at a time and actually take care of your car. If you buy an $800 turbo because you cant afford injectors then your car will be stock until you start making cake. Do your homework, search for days or even weeks, find a deal on a good upgrade turbo that gives you room to grow and work your ass off to save up for supporting mods.
