you can buy a new turbo and see if your current exhaust housing will fit on the new turbo. make sure you take it to an expert before you just throw it on your car. the housing might need to be shaved some.

That should work. i had an evo III gt 16g or whatever that chinacharger is called and it blew on me. so i picked up a real MHI Evo III and just had to clock it and it fit nicely.
