Hi guys my turbo just gave way, bearings stuffed. looking at replacing it with this: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Ford-XR6-Turbocharger-BA-BF-Typhoon-Garrett-GT35R-Turbo-gt3540-t3-t4-billet-/350998013263?pt=AU_Car_Parts_Accessories&hash=item51b91ca54f&_uhb=1 will pay the extra $110 to get their oil feed kit as well so I can get the 12mth warranty any thoughts? just a bit wary about the price that's all

hello all as my thread says my tax money is coming, also ive saved up my money too got 2600 to go on top of my tax money so all together ill have about 7000 ( 8000 if I use my credit card too)... but I should start with the car its a 08 xr6 turbo auto so far its got adjustable suspension all round ive put on rapids v2 system ( turbo side intake battery relocation intercooler, new piping ) ive also brought a turbosmart 38mm bov Bridgestone re002's all round and a boost gauge waiting to be put on. my goals are about 300rwkw on 91 and some were around 375-400rwkw on 98 ive had a bit of a look around the site and talked to a few people ive since been putting a parts list together slowly, im just not sure about the turbo I should be buying and prices of a few things the parts ive been thinking about are, and rough prices( feel free to correct me put in any thorts no matter how small and even opinions on tuners in Townsville and also prices I should be able to get second hand parts at) xforce 4inch turbo back exhaust $1200 injectors, fuel pump, oil pump, surge tank $1500? valve springs $900 second hand f6 turbo or gtx3582R $1000-$2600? xcal3 flash tuner and dyno tune $1750? dba series 4000 rotors x4 $980 bendix ultimate pads $240 assuming that my prices are close and that I haven't forgot anything you can see if I go the f6 turbo I can afford it straight up but if I go the gtx ill have to save for a few more months my main Q's are will the f6 turbo be able to do what I want will it need work on the gate or anything else is the gtx worth the extra $1600 and is there anything else to add to my parts list and are my prices right any other help or hints/ tips would be great and are my power estimates right is the price for the tune alright and is there any cheaper way to get what im after ill be fitting all parts expt injectors valve spring surge tank and the tune will most likely be done by Aitkenvale auto and dyno townsville
