    Your one burnout/slip n grip away from a scrap transmission with a 60mm turbo. Probably best to go with a 54mm and stay under 12 psi.

    keep in mind plenty of people have tried to go the cheap route with a turbo setup and end up spending the same as the cost of a full kit in most cases by the time the car is running and drivable.
    saving money rarely ever saves you money in the long run. That cheap used Turbo in some cases can be very expensive when it destroys the engine...etc etc.
    I just want to make sure you understand what you're getting into with you more likely to spend more time wrenching and sorting out issues... than actually driving
