If your not after anymore than 280/290 bhp, I would stick with the td04.

You'll keep the quick spool up and still achieve the bhp figures you want.

Or, you could replace it with one of Andy F's hybird td04's

Take a look www.andyforrestperformance.co.uk

I currently have a VF34 which is producing around 320/300 on my MY99 UK with supporting mods. Its coming off though as I'm fitting a 20g. It'll be for sale in a couple of weeks

Buy the VF34 as you'll want more later and it'll achieve your goal now.

I had my 18G turbo delivered.
Then set up a group mapping session for you and three others and get Andy to come to you. Thats what we did.

Personally would just replace with a TD04 (£50-100) and poss decat (£150-200) and up the boost.

Upgrading turbos and you start talking ££££.
