I NEED A WATERCOOLED TURBO CHARGER 900

I have rebuilt a 81 240 turbo engine. I already dropped it in the car and restored the engine compartment, leaving rebuilding the turbo for last. Well i bought the turbo rebuild kit and I have 3 Watercooled turbos here at the shop and they all have cracks in the exhaust inlet on the turbo(when you separate the manifold from the turbo, you can see the cracks)
Any ways can anybody help me, I am looking for another turbo, I dont know what i am will to spend. I would prefer a used turbo that i can rebuild, but i would consider a new on or one that is rebuilt. Any information would be helpful.
thanks

    81 240 should have a t3 turbo
    later 240 and some 700 use a water cooled t3
    you could get the water cooled center section
    and a new or used uncracked exhaust housing for your t3
    and reuse your wheels and cold side houseing

    I would do that as the t3 is a better turbo
    then the later misbu T0-whatever types used on the 940s
    even better build a t3/4 hybred out of some of your parts

    now the later post 90 manifold is a very good idea
    they do love to crack but can be rewelded

    add an intercooler too
