new. what turbo set up?

hey guys, im interested in getting a turbo for the FC i just bought cause the previous owner removed his kit to part. a local guy is trying to sell his borg warner with manifold for $1500! sounds kinda steep to me since i noticed a gentlemen here selling a borg warner turbo with front mount mani ect for under 1000 but not sure if it was a dif turbo that may not be worth as much as the one im looking at??... i noticed some of you use this brand of turbo too but its my first time hearing of it. my question is, is this brand that much better than a garrett, greddy ect? the turbo hes selling comes with nothing but the dp and mani... it looks like it was used hard especially in the manifold area but the internals are rebuilt and have no shaft play. then he wants to sell a used godspeed front mount for 300 which was parted off another car and a koyo rad for 100... should i go for it? just to replace the bits that was sold off my FC or do you guys suggest something else?

note im looking for good reliable parts that can help make 300/350ish- 400whp tuned on microtech or haltech.. which will prob be another 1500 to purchase/install ect? lol

You would need to list the model of the turbo and/or the specs: wheel sizes, housing sizes, etc...

This isn't the place to post a want ad for turbos. When you have a few more posts, you can make a thread in the classifieds.

As for the turbo, you can't put a price on something you don't have any information on. Contact the seller and ask.
