GS-T = good
Big TDI trucks = bad ( too big )
There is a list posted a while back of cars to get turbos from, but of course a buick GN turbo ( V6 single turbo ) is going to be pretty big for a civic, but a turbo 4 banger motor should be in general the right size.

The turbo 3cylinder turbochargers are pretty useless...

anything from europe ( audi, volvo, some benz/ BMWs )could likely have a turbo on it.

also look for oil coolers and Intercoolers that you could use.

sounds like a t3 would do u good just watch out every one ive pulled out of junk cars had pritty bad cracks in the exhaust housing. it sux to spend 3 hours yankinga turbo off a car in the middle of a field fulll off cars and get it home and start looking tit over good and its about junk. but i think there is one car that people say the t3 usually arent cracked on ,volvo the one i got off a saab was cracked
