So look for name brands Greddy, Turbonetics, Turbo XS, ect. Got ya. What would you consider a fair price for a new T3/T4 turbo from an online vendor or someone on ebay?

Well I'd like to get a new one but if I can find one used that's in really good shape (preferably one that doesn't need a rebuild) I would go for that.

You can find good used hybrids on ebay but you have to be careful.

I got a Turbonetics 57 trim over the winter for $460 and it's in really nice shape (this is a single ball bearing turbo, Stage III turbine, all the good stuff), although I took it apart over the winter and neglected to properly mark everything so it needs rebalanced (working on that at the moment). It's easily a $1000 turbo though.

However, just recently I came across what I thought was a good deal...guy was selling an SC50 that he said had "minor play" and I figured I could buy that and just throw it on. I won it for $300, got it and found out it was a piece of junk. It had a whole bunch of play, the wheels had been into the housings, and it was really no good for anything but a paper weight. I got the guy to agree to refund half my money via a paypal claim, but he hasn't sent it yet, and then I dunno what I'm gonna do with this junk turbo.

Might consider just finding a good T3 and sticking with it.
