Its such a good option, im glad you stepped outside the box and didnt go the garret route the other millon 1.8t owners went. Holsets come on other thigns too I do believe, but i live in the country lol, theres trucks a plenty out here. Turbos for 50 bucks out of the yard is just an amzing deal.
Have you thought of doing the rebuild yourself? Its a pain in the dick but can be done, should save you even more money.

Just an ATP log manifold, I've heard that I'll need to shave the valve cover a little bit for it to fit, but otherwise it bolts right on.

Hopefully I'll have some BIG ( 
) news/pictures this weekend
Also picked up a 70mm s4 throttle body, putting my MAF back on and getting retuned and bumping up to 2.5in intercooler piping for at least the cold side.
But for now...

This is going to sound weird where turbos are concerned. Schwitzer/Holset/Borg Warner/Perkins/Bullseye share a lot of common parts amongst them. Whats cool is if you want to actually use a real Garrett turbine housing you can but you have to do a lot of parts sourcing and swapping to do it. Well not really. Some of the Borg Warner/Schwitzer/BullsEye turbos use Garrett turbine heads welded to their own shaft. You can use whatever turbine and it will fit with a bit of maching into the Garrett housing. Then you can swap whatever compressor on that you want with its matching housing. This is basically how the Bullseye turbos came about.
Melo have you got you turbo finished yet? I actually have a brand new cart that you might be able to use the bearing housing (and bearings) from for your turbo.
