The T28 is the turbo you want. Just make sure it's off an s14a or an s15. The older s14 has a T28 on it, but it's not ballbearing. The s14a and s15 both have ballbearing T28's. Try and find one of them but make sure you check for shaft play before you buy. A lot of people love thrashing those turbo's - lord knows I did 
Which sr20 are you putting in? There are three basic flavours (well a lot more than that actually, but 3 BASIC ones) red rocker, black rocker, and updated variable cam thingo one from the s14 and s15. If you're going to be chucking aftermarket cams, ECU etc at it, then don't bother getting one of the s14 or 15 engines - just go for a red or black rocker (but be careful cause they're getting old now) and yoink the turbo off the s15. With some minimal cam work and a good ecu I've seen red-rocker sr20's with t28's on them hitting full boost at 3 grand and holding it al the way to 7 1/2. It's a good affordable combo.
Check on all the silvia forums and places like Justjap, SSS, etc. The T28 BB's go for around $600 normally, but I've seen good ones going for up to the $800 mark.
