Does one of these turbo's suit my plans?

Ok, I will be doing a single conversion someday so I'm browsing the internet for some good deals on some parts.

What I will do is:

rebuild my spare 13d rew engine with a mild streetport and ported exhaust
necessary fuel upgrade (FPR, Bosch pump)
injectors upgrade:will running secondaries (850cc) in both prim and sec rail be sufficient?

Power expectation: 350-400 or slightly over, weekend driven car.

Will one of these turbo's work for me? Ideal would be a GT3540 but those come up very rarely in Europe

from the data on the Ebay listings I would say the GT30R is most comparable with a GT3540

Thanks, but I read that that kit/turbo has been discontinued by Apexi and that it's really hard to find rebuild parts.

Since he is not here I will take a stab at it, yes I think that particular "kit" has been discontinued but even still the turbo is still made by IHI

Yup, correct and the turbo is frigg'in expensive.

Another thread state it's hard to rebuild and mostly advised to be replaced by a new turbo.

Not the way i would like to go
