Alright I got a 88 300zx t25 is junk found this on eBay I don't believe it's some knock off saya upgraded and rebuilt t3. What do you guys think? And where else can I get a t3 from? There is no junk yards in Michigan with these cars. Just to add while I do the swap I plan on a fmic, electronic boost controller, efans, egr delete, poly or soild motor mounts, 3in exhaust, a.c. deleted anything else I'm forgeting guys. Just looking for a mild fun dd in the summer. Please let me know what you think of the turbo thanks. http://m.ebay.com/itm/V-Trim-T3-Turb…510?nav=SEARCH

There is also this locally https://flint.craigslist.org/pts/5379423414.html not sure if I could make any of it work or not new to theses cars and turbos in general any help and input is greatly appreciated.

I wouldn't pay more than $150 for a T3. If you take the time to search the forum you will have a much better understanding of what's up and ultimately not waste money.

I've spent hours on here not finding much answers.

Read the build threads, more info there about turbos and such, start with mine for t3/t4 hybrid turbo upgrade info. Cliff notes, find a stock t3, sent to Joel at AZ turbo and have it upgraded with new t4 compressor.

once you upgrade the stock turbo , especially if on a vg33 wont the stock turbo injectors also need upgraded? i just have already invested in the block being rebuilt, and i dont think they put forged pistons but idk for sure and idk how i can find out, so for now i was going to go with a stock turbo setup, to see if the block will act appropriately. i bought my t3 from joel over at az tractor turbo in person. mine looks like the one you posted in the ebay link. i also got the stock turbo elbow and down pipe, and i think some wastegates but idk where those went. i think i sold them with the other extra turbo parts i had.
i also had already invested in the stock 260 injectors, another reason to keep the turbo stock. if i am going in the wrong direction for a reliable build, please advise.
