I'm planing to buy one of their intercoolers (26 x 16 x 3 for 5.0 mustang) but I'd have to say pass on their turbos .. because..

having done "some" reading about the Garrett dual ball bearing turbos there's something to consider
IF you have a core to send them for rebuilding they are not to expensive as then you're into a 5-6 hun rebuild ..
dammed if I can find a dbb core .. anywhere though
not sure.... probably.... what I do know is that TONS of Turbo LS guys using his turbos. Sloppy Mechanics uses them for all kinds of builds.
doesn't seem to make sense to spend 2000$ on a turbo for a <1000$ car to me.
especially since alot of our cars are apart more than they are together.
if my Turbonetics 50 trim ever dies, ill probably replace it with a VSRacing turbo. i already have his gates and bov for another project....
The cheap turbos are alot better than they were years ago when they had stupid things like plastic bearings and epoxy bonded compressor housings.

A great majority of this community has cars that never run or rarely run.
what turbo are you getting just curious?
for the turbo that I posted, (or any without a internal wastegate) to run it on a R/T, this might work,

im going to use in on another project with a cast manifold so that I can run 2 wastegates so that it doesnt creep.... because I really need to limit the boost.

new inna box.. THAT works for me .. 'specially with a warranty
you guys can spool out turbo model numbers , "trim, stage this or that compressor housing a or b etc ,.. and ya kinda lose me..I "get" the basic wheel sizes Garrett use and understand what I'm dealing with .. then, .. and I'm familiar with how it's going to actually physically fit with my other parts ..
I didn't mean cobbled in a demeaning way .. it's just not "my bag"
that and I don't have a time limit or final cost limit .. just collect what I can , as I can , when I can

Not necessarily this exact one but like this is what I am thinking. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Turbo-Charg...Cclp%3A2334524
that ^ might be worth the money even if it gives up early as the turbine housing that should fit the next turbo ..is worth the price alone..
I apologize I took it wrong lol

This seems like a decent deal to me just no internal gate

with the ease that it is to remove the turbo on a T3, I would try it.
