Question Source for cheap and cheap-er turbos?

Hey guys, few questions.

I've got a bet going witha friend who has a fox body with an on 3 performance turbo (1,475) and my bet is that I can get my f-bod single t'd for less than that, minus obviously the cost of tuning it and the fuel system (as those things are not included in the price of the o3p kit.

So... that said, whats the best turbo out there for the money for a stock ls1 car? Not looking to make a ton of power. This is a saturday night special.

Additionally, I was thinking of using a Turbosmart wastegate, any suggestions about whats a better WG for the money?

How about suggestions on the BOV?

Help is appreciated, I can figure it out on my own, but my wallet wont live long enough to make everyone elses wallet's mistakes, so I might as well learn from them.

Yeah nasty, I'm hearing that a lot.

Are the sold by one of our sponsors?

I've got a 70mm chinese turbo that is whats included with an o3p kit, but I'm looking at this thing, and thinking.... "I remember how those chinese tools hold up" lol.
