Best gains for dropping $2000 into a GTP



As long as I know there are turbo heads still looking at this thread I am going to ask this cliche question. What makes the ebay turbos junk? I mean in reality any good turbo brand is WAY overpriced if you ask me for what it is. I know turbos are sized and shaped precisely and scientifically but the entire part is made with a automatic machine isn't it? I know ball bearing turbos are better for obvious reasons but what would be the difference between a offbrand ballbearing one and a namenbrand ballbearing one of the exact same size, type, and everything? Thanks for any turbo help!
 
With $2000, I would do either of the following:

1) Intercooled setup
Full size intercooler
1.9 ratio rockers
Headers (TOG, SLP, ZZP)
Wideband O2
Intake
180* Tstat
Whatever size pulley you can run
Get it tuned

OR

2) Cam Setup
XP or S1X cam
Stock timing chain and dampener
105# valve springs
Headers
Intake
180* tstat
Whatever size pulley you can run
Get it tuned

Maybe 42.5lb injectors for both setups depending on pulley and if you need them.
