I doubt that you will find a lot of difference in the prices of turbo's. They're all expensive. Garrett/AiResearch is as good as any turbo. They are now a division of Honeywell, so you might want to check out their website for some model information and distributers, etc. For some reason, that model # (TA31) strikes a chord with me. It seems that it might be a twin inlet turbo. Twin inlet turbo's are know as pulse turbo's, as they tend to provide slight pressure surges, and cam profiles generally allow for a certain amount of scavenging. The exhaust manifold flows are divided in two, and half is fed to each side of the turbo. This was the predominant system on Ford BSD engines. Where you are simply boosting up the engine you have, and not changing the cam profile, you would want to go with a single inlet turbo. Again, I'm not sure on that model #, but check it out to be sure. As stated in the other post, it would be a good idea to speak with an injection and turbo shop. They could also be invaluable in providing advice on turbo sizing, injector nozzel sizing, and pump settings so that you make the power you want without going too far or wasting fuel. You want to make sure that the air/fuel ratios don't get out of whack. A good shop will tell you which nozzels will go with what turbo and the power that can be expected. Good luck.
