Red face Turbo Questions

Yeah, that's right, Mr. 420a himself has some turbo questions.

My car is losing power somewhere and tomorrow I'm going to figure out where. It's pretty much well across the board, but lower and higher rpms are suffering the most. The mids are perfect, but the rest sucks. So I've got to change my oil tomorrow, then I'm going to hook up the logger and retune, see if I can tell where I'm losing power.

Now, I'm thinking (only thinking) of possible getting a turbo. All I want is something just to give a little boost or push for the car. I was thinking something really small, like a t25? I'm also thinking a very small FMIC then too with all hard pipes. Any other small turbos?

I've been seeing these come up on ebay:

Are these legit or worth it? I know the manifold doesn't come with, but you are getting a lot there. What do you think?

Also, are all turbos oiled? Like do I need to run a line from the oil pan to the turbo no matter what I get?

So what do you guys think? This will be after I finish the head (early next year). To break it down, I just want something small to push the engine a little more. Not looking for BIG and all out. I still want to keep the fuel system the same (fuel cut not a problem). Should I piece a system together with used parts?
