Today I developed a severe exhaust manifold leak and figured while I'm changing the gasket I'd upgrade the turbo. I'm looking to have a setup similar to Larry's old 4SFED4 R/T.

larry used a precision sc6152s
what kind of power are you looking to make?
GTX3582R? GT3076R? 6262?

I’d spend up to $800 or so for the right turbo
Yeah, sounds like a GT30 or GT35 is in your future.
only 400? nothing larger than a GT3076R.
improved manifolds and some headwork would make 400hp with the right engine management.

I've noted the ratings for the newer GTX3076 are the same as the olderGT3082 was rated for ..

Why are you guys suggesting ball bearing billet turbos when his budget is $800. They're over twice that $.
Take your stock turbo, rebuild it with a T04E housing, back plate, and a T04E 50 trim compressor wheel.
Thanks for the responses . I’m also looking to remain with an internal WG setup.
Yes, Gen II Garrett GTX series flows like 20% more than Gen 1. So a GTX3071R will flow about the same as a GTX3076R Gen 1. Just spools up about 500 RPM quicker. Some of these Gen II GTX3071's are making 600+ HP with larger .82 AR exhaust housings. Just have to pay for them (lol). They're like $1800-2k+.

I posted a thread a year or so back where I asked .."GT3082..??"
a chorus of voices answered back GT3076..
so I went back to the Garrett listings.. and found the GTX3076..and like everything I read about it
if some is good more is better
if more is better then to much should be just right
seems the GTX3076 vs the GT3082 might be the better approach towards to much...
somewhere in my saved page shortcuts I"ve saved a link for a genuine Garrett GTX3076 "super core" , no turbine housing , listed for 1400 bucks with an as cast compressor housing
about the same as the older gt3082 was again with no turbine housing
EDIT....that ^ shoulda read I found a GTX 30/76 for 1400 bucks ,, sorry..corrected it
I wasn't aware of a "good" turbo for 800 bucks .. 'cept the ebay stuff and I don't wanna go there

$800 is just a ball park I figured I’d see what’s out there. I’ll spend more if needed
An he351 and a billet wheel could be done for under 800 and in my opinion is a good turbo

that's ^ where the value is in the experience and resources ..cobbling a turbo together wouldn't be my personal go to especially not knowing a good local turbo "guy"
...pass on a holset... I’m good...Found the turbo I want. Thanks for all the comments.
So what did you buy?

I was thinking something more like this:

youd need to make a manifold with an external gate though.

I'm guessing those are China made? When there was some talk of DBB turbos for 1K I got pretty excited, but then Todd was able to bring me back down to earth.
