Hey guys. I am getting some pretty heavy smoke when I idle for a minute or so in my red top sr20. I suspect either the turbo is going out or the valve stem seals. I have been wanting a bigger turbo anyway so I figured I would replace it. What would fit with the stock manifold in the low mount position? When purchasing what do I look for? Buying a brand new garrett for like 800 dollars or so is a bit out of my budget right now so I will have to either find something used or a cheap ebay. I'm just worried about buying something that won't fit and having my car torn apart and a useless turbo sitting around.
