What exactly are the name brands of turbos? Everyone says to get name brand, but what are they.

 

Garrett and GReddy are two name brands, but other than that people get turbos off of other stock-turbocharged cars, such as Mistubishi Eclipse DSM, that comes with a T25 turbo.

By cheap, they are talking about THINGS LIKE THIS

That thing is gonna be crap, you really are getting what you pay for [&:]manifolds cracking and the likes are probably gonna happen

An auction like THIS ormaybe THISlooks pretty good to me

 

Is there no way to get a good turbo for under 1.5k? I have a friend who claims to have built his turbo for 250 bucks. On a 95 Si.
