I'm looking to upgrade the turbo on my JZX100 1JZ and need suggestions. I'd love to go with a GTX3076R but at nearly 2k for just the turbo I just can't do it. I'm willing to put money up for a good turbo but I don't have bottomless pockets

My goals are about 500 whp with decent spool time

I've heard people like the holset HY35 pretty well, but I'm concerned it won't reach my HP goals and everything I read online is for a diesel truck which has deceptively low HP numbers

I've considered garrett GT 30 series turbo's but they're still pretty damn expensive and typically I have to get an exhaust housing on top of that.

I've also considered "ebay name brand" turbos like CxRacing and Twisted Motion, but I've heard horror stories about them. But the price and the CXracing ball bearing turbos seem pretty appealing.

Any opinions?
