Default Turbo Kit

I know I'm gonna catch some slack for starting this thread but I looked for an established one and couldnt find it. I have a 95 stock 2jz with a factory 5 speed tranny. The motor only has 80k on it so I feel a little reluctant yanking a perfectly good low mileage motor to do the swap. I heard the E-Bay turbo kits are garbage, is there any decent kit for around 1000-1500? I'm llooking for at least 300 hp....any suggestions?

Ebay cast manifold
Genuine Garret 61mm or bigger non bb(for price)
Name brand oil feed,return lines and fittings.
38mm to vband adapter
Tial 44mm wastegate
Tial blow off valve
Ebay intercooler and piping kit
Map ecu
Jdm 440 injectors

That should put you under $1500 new or alot cheaper used and be alot better off than any ebay kit out there.The cheap tubular manifolds need bracing and cutting corners always costs more in the longrun.The turbo setup on my car is similar to above except its a smaller turbo and a GTE engine.

In order to do GTE intake and exhaust manifolds, you would need to do a GTE head as well.
