TD05 swap for vf series

Hi all! I was wondering if any of the vf series turbos would be better suited to my 2.5 conversion than the standard TD05?Looking for about 350-400bhp. Can't afford a 18 or 20G!
Seen a few vf39's going cheap.

Thanks,Tim

You know, you can get your TD05 "upgraded" to a 18G/20G for £550, right?

The vf39 is a good alternative when it comes to price vs. quality, but it is not a TD05!

The TD05 offers a better mix of spoolup and power than the VF series single scroll turbos.

No idea where you would get that done

Also consider that a ported TD05-16G (original compressor) is still good for 340-350bhp on a 2.5 and would give a nice torque band therefore will be quicker on the road than a TD05 engined 2.0 of a similar modification spec.
