TD04 Upgrade
is the conversion from a 90 degree inlet to a front entry an easy thing to do? anybody done this or have a "how to" guide would be great.
Would the VF28 be a suitable replacement and would this require any mods to fit a standard MY00?

A good replacement for upto 310-320ish bhp I think.
As you already have an uprated fuel pump, then all you would need is a remap after fitting a VF28.
I have been thinking about the VF28, its the standard turbo on P1s.
If I change my turbo, I don't want to go too high as I'm concerned about my gearbox having done 103k.

STiX Wouldn't bother with the 28 unless you can get it v cheap, VF 35 better and can also be had cheaply! Will also tolerate running without a DV if you like the sound! 
but would the VF35 be a direct bolt on replacement for a MY00.
Will an external wastgate be required?
Apologies if the questions sound abit n00bish, i just want to make sure im spending the right money in the right places, and wanna make sure its absolutely right.

when i had my 03wrx ecutek's it cost 599 inc VAT, BUT that was for the licence, all mappings after this will be cheaper, when i changed my turbo i got it remapped, which seems a waste of time cos only 3bhp more after the map, and NO noticible difference while driving!!!
oh the remap cost around £200, which i thought was rather dear, compered to some rolling road mappers!!

You'll be fine mate just drive it off boost and dont try and pull out quickly out of junctions etc you dont want to boost at all.
I had my TD05 16G fitted, went all the way home (50 mile motorway journey). Left the car for a week and then drove back there to have it mapped. Just have to be very sensible and patient.
£350 seems cheap for a remap, usually ECUTEK mappings go for £500 - £550 + VAT. Do a search on here, you'll soon find out who the popular mappers are. See if the person doing yours is one of them!
