Pick one or the other.
Nothing wrong with second hand turbo bits, have read many monstrous back yard build type threads where people have used old diesel truck turbo's etc.

Anything thing on ebay thats cheap and made in china will last no where near as long as good quality stuff.
If you want to do the job twice buy cheapo Chinese stuff

Your better off with used quality items,like turbo,intercooler,piping,
They can all be bought seperate,I've turbo'd my m20,and a lot if people will say the same thing,
You ain't gone even use half the stuff in there tbh

I happened to follow a car built by these guys many years ago was one of the first Evo's they built and IIRC it was fitted with turbos from some kind of lorry, I think it was a DAF but can't remember. But I do remember how whilst sat behind it at a junction, the floor pan of my R5 vibratingross_jsy wrote:>Want quality stuff
