Default wheres best place for second hand turbos?

Im looking for 430bhp and need a supporting turbo, not sure which one to go for. Currently looking at the vf36 or vf37, td05 20G or simular.

Which one is the best to go for, this is used mainly for drag racing so lag isnt a problem.
Wheres the best place to get them as some places are charging stupid money?

IMHO none of the turbos you have listed are likely to make 430bhp. The 20G may, if you use race fuel.

For secondhand, just keep an eye on the "for sale" forums.

Much as Mark says. It takes a good 05-06 to get to 400 on V-Power plus NF and none of the others are 430 bhp turbos.
Look at something like a GT 30 but there are several variants so check what you are considering.
You could talk to Scoobymania, Mike Tuckwood, Roger Clark Motorsport, Olly or Simon, Owen Developments, Mark, AET Turbos, Andy 0r Grant or Mark at Lateral. With that sort of choice I am sure you will find what you want. Compare the advice, ignore the bulls**** and compare the prices but do not buy on price alone.

Don't be a guinnea pig, with turbo's it becomes expensive!

Andy F does rebuilt 16/18/20g TD's
My rebuilt 20g has been rock solid, made a realistic 380 x 370 on Power Station's RR on Vmax/NF.

Absolute mine field of a subject as there are so many opinions/slants, but for me it would be Andy or Lateral for advice/supply.

Very impressed with the MD321 turbos that Mark @ lateral sells after mapping yet another car with one last night.
