So I bought my MSP and tore the turbo off and the pos welded downpipe etc. Long story, but the previous unknown amount of owners before me really did a number on this poor car. I am going to restore it back to it's glory with proper parts and tuning etc. But I pulled off a SAAB 9-3 turbo which doesn't even mate properly to the manifold. So now I'm in the position of needing a new turbo. The goal of the car is a solid DD with 200+whp keeping boost low because obviously these motors are glass. I'm just in a position of what turbo I should go with. I mean i'm thinking just a stock t25, but I've read they have issues and all that. So I've been looking at some ball bearing t28 ebay turbos, looking for a cheap disco potato, or again, maybe a good condition stock turbo. What I've looked at for ebay turbos would be like:

What are some thoughts on these turbos, what would be my best, lowest expense turbo option that will last a long time with lower boost. Are there some other turbo option I'm not aware of? Thanks
