Looking for small turbocharger

I want to turcharge a 2.2L Kubota diesel engine. Looking for 80-100HP. Garrett has an online application that points me to a GT1241 for 80 HP and the GT1544 or GT1548 for 100HP. I've only found those turbos new for around $625. The bargain hunter in me says I can do better. I've seen great deals on new genuine Garrett turbos, albeit for the larger models.

Are there other brands worth considering? Any sizing help is appreciated. Right now, I'm leery of the Chinese Garrett copies for cheap. I feel more comfortable paying $625 for a genuine Garrett than risk an engine for a $250 Chinese clone. Whatcha think?
