Default Turbo gurus, which one as upgrade for SpecC??

Hi, as my turbo probably gone I was wondering what I can put in instead of VF36? Currently I have 3" decat milltek with KN panel filter, 3 port boost solenoid and uprated fuel pump, running 340bhp/370 torque and I don't want to change any other bits except what's necessary, ideally if that would by plug&play or with very little mods, something capable for around 400 bhp would be fine, any recommendations what to get and where from? thanks

I'm just reading long reviews about LM400 and it's billet version, I believe LM400,LM420 and SC turbos are similar and it's all about price now and availability. Is it worth to buy used ones?

If you can find a good one second hand from a reputable seller or member then you should be fine as turbochargers are built tuff as they have to handle extreme tolerances.SJ.
