One thing you never said was whether this is a daily driver or a street/strip weekend car or ur race car. Theres a local guy near me with a gt-30r on his DOHC ZC and it runs like ****. On the other hand if its ur daily driver, I'd go with a t3 adapter on ur hf manifold and get a small garrett t3

Given everything else with the setup you might want to just suck it up and get a decent log or mini-ram, and a T3/T04E. You've got the backbone for a real ***-hander, but, yeah, it takes a few more dollars.

No. Even if you're in a tight budget, you're just going to be throwing your money away in the long run buying a Chinese turbo. It may last 50 miles, it might last 5,000, but in the end it's still a high probability of being a losing gamble.
Wait until you can afford a decent turbo. Might want to look into a Holset HY35, going to cost less than a new T3/T04E.
