I recken you should aim a bit higher than 200rwkw. My stock 1G mate 170rwkw with the stock turbos at 15psi. $300-400 for a turbo is seriously going to be pushing it to get anything decent, but more likely to be a flogged out old t04. To put a "kit" through a standard bearing turbo will set you back at least $250. Stear clear of those t3/t04 "garrett" labeled turbos on ebay as ive heard they fail within a couple of days as they apparently are not balanced or something. But then again if you look around you might get lucky and grab a bargain, more likely to be a t3/t04 for that kind of price and exhaust flange that you want. Also you have to decide if you are going to go internal wastegate?
