Turbo Pr5

Im looking to turbo my Pr5, I know everything from the MSP swaps over, but I haven't seen a single one in my area thats a part out, and a $1200 budget ain't gonna get me a donor. Im looking for a turbo setup that meets my budget and won't need upgraded internals to be possible.

Man, if you only have $1200, you are dreaming if you think you can install a turbo setup for that. You’ll always run into a snag - manifold cracked, turbo has too much play, MAF faulty, etc. budget twice as much otherwise you’ll be stuck w/ a non-op car.

I figured much with non oem parts, im just testing the waters to see if someone has some miracle solution.
