Maybe you could go into the business ,your truck being the billboard stating "stoked with no smoke turbos " 
A core out here in Houston runs about $72 out the door and a simple kit without the shaft will run just south of $40..Sell all day long for $275 ,mix in some track showings ,your now playing while you work .

I don't DO the "W word" - that's a 4-letter word in my presence! And now I have the big honkin' turbo from Tims' so a rebuilt stocker has no use for me - or Mutt.
