Xs power ebay turbo kits. You can get a complete one for around 650 to 700 bucks. That's where I got mine from and it served me well. But if you still on a lower budget then you can put together a poors man turbo from junk yard parts.

If you do your research first, you can piece together a quality used kit for about that much.
With $800 your options are either a low quality new kit or better used components pieced together.

I just picked up a Jackson Racing Supercharger for $1000. Though its a little more money, the fabrication is virtually non-existent. Bolt it up and go, well almost. Pretty much the same fuel and ecu mods apply.
Just a though:)

That's so not true. Not even the cheapest made turbo will go out in one day. And if it did then just return it for another 1.

i myself would steer away from ebay turbos but supporting mods like intercooler piping should be fine and knock off waste gates and bovs too if your not running crazy high boost but definetly try a couple junk yards for like a turbo off of a DSM or somthing like that save a few bucks.

My opinion, junkyard build, i put my first kit together for $1200, and thats with tuning and everything, so my kit its self would have been around $900-1000. Keep an eye out for cheap parts online. Manage your budget, like spend a little more money on parts that are crucial to the life of the kit and a little less on parts that aren't as important... be patient. With the poor man's way you will have to do some more research to make sure you have all the parts you will need, but you should do research regardless of which you decide to do, knowledge is power.
Both ebay and the junkyard builds are going to give you joy in your pants when driving, but they wont last forever... just doesn't happen. So i guess my advice is research haha, loads of it.
