I'd say you're better off having one custom made. Pre-made ones arent usually much cheaper.
Just make sure you know what you're getting into. Its not as easy as slapping on a turbo and going for it. First you gotta work out if the turbo you're getting is internal or external wastegate. External is gonna cost you more so look for a stock nissan turbo like a T25 (my 4a-gze has highflowed t3) or similar. Then you also have to think of dump and exhaust pipes, intake pipes, intercooler. After that you still need an oil feed and drain for the turbo plus coolant lines (not essential but recommended).A boost controller plus you'd proably want a guage and also some sort of management. I'd recommend just a fuel computer like an apexi safc or you could run too lean and start melting pistons. And even after all that, you can still only run low boost cause of weak internals. If you're gonna do it you should do it right.
I think you should do what i'm doing at the moment. I've sourced a 7a-fe (you already have it so that saves you some cash). I'm having the rods and crank strengthened(shot peening/ nitrading) using stock gze pistons which are surprisingly cheap for forged and ceramic coated (only difference between the 7a and 4a is the stroke so 4a pistons will fit the bore). Using the head and manifolds off my gze and putting it all together. Then all I gotta do is run the oil feed and drain, find out which timing belt fits and there you have it. A reliable and strong 7a-gte. It obviously won't rev as good as the 4a but i'm expecting the torque will be phenominal.
Has anybody done this combination before? I've read a lot about it but never actually spoken to someone who has done it.
Hope that all helps with your decision.
