If you want a ball-bearing the Garrett GTP38R is a great turbo. Let me know if I can get one to you.

You can just unplug the EBPV, or you can gut it. You can also buy an EBPV delete pedestal, but you still have to get the flapper out.

I will have a freshly rebuilt stocker shortly. You can make it into "nearly" a van turbo by putting a 1.0 A/R exhaust housing on it. I have a van turbo, and it's the same as a stocker with a 1.15 non-wastegated exhaust housing. If you don't plan on bigger injectors (just tuning), that's the way to go. Unless you want to spring for the 38r, that is.... Mine will be done in a few days, including a gutted outlet & pedestal (no EBPV)... I have a rebuild kit ready to go on it, I just need the time to get it done.
