120 dollars is about the going price, doesnt seem to matter where from. Paragon carries them.

Yep, I paid roughly $120 from Zims. The NA tank is much cheaper. If you are by any chance planning on removing the turbo's auxilliary water pump, get the NA tank.

NA usually runs around 70 bucks, but i would love to see someone successfully tap a high pressure plastic tank and get it to hold. Ever try to fix a pinhole leak in one? It will leak eventually. That 2nd nipple on the turbo tank is molded and reinforced with a metal sleeve. Even 120 bucks to replace a 20 year old piece of plastic that is under pretty good pressure and heat isn't too bad i dont think.

Huh, if there was a decent deal on a group buy I bet you'd sell a hundred of them.

Then there would be 100 yellow ones on e-bay.

True. But the really funny part is that they will sell; and don't even get me started on old PS resevoirs...;]
