btw they are hard to find, although if you do find one go and try to find more and sell them for money because that will mean that the person who owns the junkyard is stupid and hasnt already taken them out to sell them cause they can b worth a good amount of money after you rebuild them

also check in eclipse's and Probes and talons. Thse would be your best bet. However, chances are that they are gone. You could always go on to a forum related to one of those cars because a lot of people upgrade their stock turbo to something larger. Also, on TD16, there are quite a few people sellin GReddy turbo setups

I say go to the junkyard my friend. Hell at the pick-a-part I go to I see turbo's all the time. Look on 80's dodges (I once found one on a wagon lol), big trucks (holsets are big but awesome), saabs, supras, old 300 zx's, on jettas and beetles, you could even get one off of a tractor. I live in the middle of nowhere, so I see old junk tractors all the time. Most are diesel and have turbos. Oh one last place to look is generators (big diesel generators have big holset turbos).

man your lucky find a turbo anywhere around me, most owners are smart and sell them for like $500 depending on what condition they are in. Well if you can find one at a junk yard try to lie and tell the guy its like a radiator or something and then he wont charge you that much LOL
