Unless you get a stock turbo for almost free, I don't think its worth taking the risk on a old stock turbo. You may consider having one rebuilt by a turbo workshop like hypergear. They have a "R33 standard profile high flow" which has much better flow through the higher rev range, but more lag. It will produce boost from 2.8 - 3k rpm. You can ask to see if they can do a version with characteristics closer to stock.

With all the effort it takes to strip down the area and take off the turbo, it is wise to do a thorough job once over while you are there. Ie, rebuilt turbo, change manifold studs and gaskets, inspect for cracked metal etc.

I did all of that for less than $1200. I used the standard profile high flow from hypergear, though if I were to do it again, I would probably see if they could do a version closer to stock.
