my car sounds like **** without the turbo...i hate it...this 3" exhaust makes it sound like im getting chased by bee's i didnt even drive it today...i decided to take the minivan to school rather than to hear the bee's chasing me

Hmmmmmmm really? Just regular driving or over bumpy-ish roads? That road was brutal though.
I see what you did there.

Noise could be coming from a lot of areas besides the strut assembly (ball joint, control arm bushing, upper strut mount, sway bar end link, etc.). Unless you were driving over a rough road comprised of speed bumps at freeway speeds with the car overloaded you probably aren't going to kill a lower mileage strut. If the dampening hasn't been affected it's probably something else.
There are a lot of variables to the turbocharger that will affect how it performs on your car. Those are also just "families" of turbochargers, some of which offer different compressor and/or turbine wheels combinations, then you have the different exhaust housings which can make a dramatic difference on how it will spool. Before just buying another turbo make sure to match it up with you intended power goals of what your powertrain can support as well as the application you're building the car for (i.e. street driving, drag only, auto-X, etc.).
I don't have any turbochargers that I'm selling right now, but if you were doing a full powertrain build and want something on the large size (like the GT35R in the last picture) you might look into a low mileage used Holset from a newer Cummins turbo diesel. A HY35W with a 9cm˛ single-scroll housing will bolt up to a T3 style manifold and flow more than what a 50-trim T3/T4 hybrid is capable of (and more than a GT3076R/3176R). They're a very tough turbocharger assembly and will run forever if well cared for.
You'd have to find a smaller wastegate actuator as the stock Holset unit won't allow for much under a minimum of 20-25 psi boost on a gasoline engine (depending on which Holset WGA), would need a custom downpipe, and might have some space issues just like the bigger T04S compressor covers on the GT35/40 frame turbos. If you can make one work and it matches well to your engine and power goals the best thing is they can be found pretty cheap. I've bought them before for as little as a few hundred dollars in great condition.
Best advice I can offer is to find out why your last turbo failed and then look at what you can realistically run on your car. If the driveline is going to fall apart under the high power levels or the engine won't support what you're shooting for and your budget is on the thin side at the moment, then I probably wouldn't go with a massively oversized turbo thinking you can "grow into it". You'll more than likely find the boost response and torque curve will suck and the car may be slower than what it was before. Another thing I can't stress enough is to make sure you think in terms of the whole powertrain and don't get wrapped up too much in looking at just the turbo. Everything has to work together and if there are bottlenecks or weak areas elsewhere you might be giving up significant power, drivability, and reliability.
you wouldn't happen to have one laying around would you...i dont have much money right now but i can make payments on one...i wouldnt mind taking a gt30, gt32, or gt35...**** i dont even care if its a gt28 again...

wat r they worth to u? they have 16k miles on them. i can include my stg2 pulley it has scratches on the outside from removing it but nothing where the belt attaches. i will give it to u with the injectors

thanks for all the good info...but it seems that im burning alot of oil now...dont know why...so now i need to open her up and see whats going on...cuz it looks like it just went through a full quart in just a few mins...i didnt realize this at first because i had alot of oil in the exhaust from the blown turbo...but i just poped the dipstick and it was full when i left and as i got back from maybe a 30 min drive the dipstick was on low...or maybe im tripping....maybe i fucked up cuz i checked it right after...im going to go check it again in a few mins when it cools down. thats probably where i fucked up cuz it was hot..
