I bought a 1.00 A/R new unit from Ron Holland for $550. It was new so I was okay with spending the money. It also comes with a warranty. If your exhaust turbine is okay, you can get $110 back for the core. Mine was trashed. The downside of the new unit is the bolt hole for the EBPV harness hold down needed to be tapped.

His ebay name is Johnsmith04 or something like that.

I certainly wouldn't put another stock turbo back on their. It won't like the stage 1's. My stocker lasted 3 months with BDP 1's. At the time there was no D66 so I ended up with the H2E. I don't know what the current price is for the 66 but I do know of one truck that recently put dowm 529/1220 with one.
