Do NOT cheap out on the turbo. They are expensive to rebuild and will need rebuilding more frequently if its a cheap turbo to begin with.
Also, I heard something about the OBX turbo all over ebay being plastic. lol May just be a rumor but I wouldn't expect anything great to come out of that company.

for specific parts.

i've used this ebay trader, himni racing.
parts like garrett turbos, bov, gaskets, flanges.

another ebay trader for turbo manifolds.
the manifold that I purchased for $120 was pretty good value and reliable.
