I couldnt see spending $420 on a turbo like that. Search for a good used turbo, dont be in a big rush to buy one just look for a while and youll probably find a good deal.

I am not in a hurry, I've been collecting parts for a year now. Find me another turbo that has an internal wastegate and is big enough to suit my needs. I want a new turbo because I very much depend on my car and here at school it is very difficult for me to fix anything that breaks (what am I supposed to do, jack it up and start wrenching in my dorm parking lot? I get tickets for just parking there...). I want the internal wastegate because I can't run an open dump tube and the internal wastegate saves me the trouble of welding and cutting stuff (i don't have a welder or any good means of cutting stuff. I am relying on the help of friends for this install and the less favours I have to ask, the better) and it saves me money. I can't have an open dump tube for emissions reasons. When it comes time to get my anual emissions sticker I will have to replace my OBD1 computer with my original OBD2 one because they check that. Since I can't run boost with that computer I was just gonna have the wastegate stay open, and put in injectors of the original size. If I were to have an open dump tube in this situation I would get a CEL and fail the test. I am buying this turbo for a reason.
