I feel a front entry TD05 would do a better job for a lot less.

Check the Aussie boards (mrtrally.com.au), they're not overly impressed with them.

Where can I get a TD05 front entry then? Does it bolt straight on and connect to oil and water etc.?

And whilst I'm at it, is the VF23 still rated? (I am after 320-330bhp and relatively fast spool-up, not high top end and big lag)

My feeling is that the VF23 is totally outclassed by the TD05 in every department going.

So if I went for a TD05 (with fuel pump and remap) would my MY00 intercooler still be up to the job?

Making boost heats the air no matter how efficient the turbo, just that the more efficient ones heat it less for the same boost. It is very easy to get back to where you started with the lesser turbo on charge temperature by running more boost on a bigger turbo! For serious boost you need to upgrade the intercooler. I think the TD05 would be safe enough at a fairly solid 320 BHP without a FMIC, but for track use you would want to turn the boost down a bit and use octane booster.
