Default "2nd hand turbos......"

Well guys im looking to put a turbo in my car like the rest of you, but unfortunately my wallet is a bit strained at the moment. So it looks like I'm gonna have to go with a "junkyard" turbo. I have a friend who put one on his talon, and runs low 14s now. My question is for anyone who has gone the "junkyard" route........Im looking for a turbo that fully spools under 3,000 rpm, but doesnt necessarily have to have monstrous output. What cars have the best stock turbos, so I can know what to look for in the junkyard, and what should I check in the turbo, to make sure it is still in good condition ?
