HX35/40 Hybrid kit. $300 or so, a little machining, and you have a decent turbo.

The center section needs to have the compressor wheel recess milled out to accept the bigger wheel. The last post in this thread shows what has to be machined:

Salvage yards can have what you're looking for. CAT C7's have s300's (57-63mm wheels). And you can find HX40's on some F700-800.

I bough one done up for my old truck I had. It ran too hot with my weak set up and I sold the truck before upgrading. In other words I have it sitting in a box in my shed for possible sale.
