make your own. just heat up some sprue. be ingenuitive about it. turbo's aren't very complicated looking and are usually not 100% visible. what model are you trying to build a turbo for?

I was looking at some of my racing curbside Tamiya kits and looked at the chassis. I have two supra sard chassis and they each have two turbos. I think I could just rip those out and use them.
I think my KURE skyline has them. Just a little discovery I made.

I won't tell you but I wonder if you will find out after I give you the clues.
Every kit has them. They are made out of plastic. Drum role please.  It is the what the parts of the kit is connected to. Like the engine part is conected to the sprue.

you have one of the best references possible.....your car. It says its a turbo so look at that. heat up some plastic tube and bend it to look like your turbo.

Im in the process of doing that right now its just it wont be as detailed as i hoped, plus ive seen a couple of guys on here and other boards that have some turbos that come with the external wastegate and what looks to be some sort of metal exhaust manifold. so if anyone is interested in selling an extra turbo message me!
