ok well its not done yet but tell me what you guys think. i have a gsr thats in good shape, and i have a turbo from a ford probe thats set to run 7.3 psi. do you think this turbo will be enough? the probes redline is no where near what my integra's is. you think itll be able to keep up? or maybe itll just overheat and blow up my engine. im getting it rebuilt so itll be in good condition. if its not big enough, where can i get a cheap, good turbo? i was planning on running no more than 7 psi because i cant afford internals just yet. so give me some opinions!

i wanted to do something a little like this except it was a stock turbo from an Eclipse GSX. Well pretty much what i was told on here when i asked the similar question was that the small turbo would be creating too much heat. So i guess the bottomline was it wasn't worth it. So i didn't get the thing. Sorry i can't be of much help i just thought i'd give you what i was told.

Have the motor built up properly and save up for a good turbo later. Doing anything the quick, cheap and dirty route generally doesn't result in good things.

However, if you want some more info on how to do the "junkyard" turbo setup decently, check out homemadeturbo.com.

i started off checking out the junkyard turbo website.
then i came to conclusion that i'd rather have a nicer kit.
so i have started to buy really nice parts. right now i have
a bling bling polished t3 from a 300z/saab (.63 a/r exhaust), a $25 max rev cnc machined oil feed fitting and a forged stainless max rev turbo manifold. i was going to do the "DIY charge piping", but i will be ordering bling bling chrome drag piping later this week instead. then a tial, then a hks ssbov, then a spearco or PYR fmic, then an AFC and 440 RC injectors (afc hack), then the full stainless oil line kit (with 100% an fittings, no clamps), then the gauges, etc, etc, etc. i started out with intentions on building a junkyard setup, and now my expensive tastes have taken over. $1000 spent and $1500 left to go, it's always more expensive than you think it will be.
good luck!

wow this is very discouraging. i guess ill have to save up for a while and get a better turbo. where do you suggest i get one that suits my needs? i definitely want either a new one or a rebuilt one.
