I'm with Guywithastang on this one...you can't just go and ask for anything and everything they've got that's got a turbo on it. You need to take things into account like turbo size, housing, compressor wheel, A/R ratio, bolt pattern, etc. I haven't seen the Hot Rod article, but I'll bet it's semi-accurate (as is most stuff in their mag). Also, don't hit the junkyard unless you plan on spending the extra money to have the turbo rebuilt. There are tons of places that'll do this (most do it for diesel and heavy equipment applications but are able to do it for just about anything) for reasonably cheap. Anything you yank off of a car in a boneyard has probably been sitting there for too long to be of any real good without a rebuild.
Edit - You're sig doesn't mention what type of car/motor you've got but you'll probably need a smaller than average turbo unless you're going big time. Also, I think I was wrong about the Turbo Coupe turbos...I think they're IHIs. The SVOs had the T03s.
