That's a good combo. You just need to send it to a reputable turbo shop and have them put it together and dynamic balance it for you. If you try to do it yourself it's about 99.9% chance it'll fail right away or hang on for a couple weeks and fail soon after. If you buy those parts new you're not going to get them for the $80 or whatever you got your junkyard diesel turbo off Ebay for haha. Last I checked genuine Garrett turbine wheels were a shade under $200 at the cheapest place and a genuine turbine housing will be in the $1500-$200 range. A shop is going to add a little bit on it too. Look to spend at least $400 to have your t3/t04b made. You can buy one already done for about $100-$150 more so you could save yourself the wait and trouble and just buy one.

Well i already bought a garrett stage 3 housing for $75 and its in great shape, just need to order a wheel.

Turbine wheels are expensive. So you're going to put it together yourself? Good luck with that. I know people claim it can be done, but the failure rate is insane. 150k rpm+ pwns you!
