Awesome street turbo. Hits hard and spools fast.

There is lots of reviews on other boards like dsmtalk and dsmtuners.

I'm going to pick one up one day.

If its a ebay gt3076r is there a huge difference, like i know it will crap out sooner than the garret but has anyone had a ebay gt30 76r.

If you want something with that kind of spool up and whp potential look into holset hx-40. You can get an hx40 off ebay for less than a 16g and you won't have to worry about it crapping out on you and taking your engine.

hx40 @40psi vs gt3076 @30psi. The gt3076 is maxed out and the hx40 still has more to go.

Well im looking to pay around 250-350$ for this turbo.
Im looking for a cheap turbo thats going to be better than my 14b, Im not looking for crazy psi somewhere between 15-20psi, I have stock internals and would most likely be doing a metal head gasket sometime this summer. I just dont want to be broke because of a turbo setup.

How much do the holset hx40s usually go for?

Please don't waste your money on a knock off turbo, this type of thing has been covered too many time to count on here & all the other DSM boards.

If your on a budget, look for a good used 16g, etc.

Alright 16g sounds good then.

Its better to pick up a 16g then. The holset requires alot of parts external wastegate, custom intake, oil lines, exhaust housing and so on. Look for either a big 16g or evo3 16g.

a well setup small or evo 16g is hard to beat for cost,simplicity and street manners, and it can make enough power for 11's for sure, so PLENTY of street power.
