im looking for about 350+. my tdo5 has too much play in it. turbo technics want about 600 pound to recon the turbo or 600+vat for a new one. in the usa i can only fin d vf range turbos. they rate them quite good. i thought they would be better because they are roller bearing

Best bet would be to find yourself a secondhand TD05 or get your TD05 reconditioned, try Turbo Dynamics 
Dont forget it wont be just $900, there will be shipping, import duty and the lovely VAT to add

turbo technics quote 150 for new seals and bearings.
I sent mine to turbo dynamics due to a bad review for turbo technics and aftre they checked it the quoted me 380, which was 450 odd after VAT (needed a new core).
When it came back it looked like a brand new turbo.
