im sure you could pick and pull the good parts from different ones and put together a nice one. This place also sells new turbos for decent prices. If you look carefully at the pictures there is some turbos there that are bigger than microwaves!

Guys those pics of the massive amounts of turbos they have are for the most part worthless unless you can rebuild and balance turbos. Those are all old used worn out cores. 85% of them are bad and need to be rebuilt (which is why mjm has them so they can rebuild them and sell them).

i was just kidding about putting one in my car, LOL...I probably couldnt even lift that thing. I'd need a crane. They also have some massive supercharges there. I was looking into getting this one though...

What would stop you from slapping on a random turbo to a 12a? I might be totally wrong, but couldn't you just fab the exhaust manifold, bolt it on, run the intercooler and oil lines and be set?

That's WAY too small man. It'd spin up IMMEDIATLY, but you'll top it out around 4-5k RPM @ only a few psi.
