As you say, you're pretty much at the limit with your TD04 now - so torque will be too at about 260-280lb ft

A great swap would be the VF35 or VF34 - one's a roller-bearing version of the other. These are good for about 340-350bhp with similar torque, I think.

Worth getting one of these turbos if intending to retain the std TMIC.

I may have a good one for sale (fitted by powerstation, done 10'000 miles) in March, I'll post it on SN when it's off the car if it isn't sold beforehand.

336lb ft on a TD04L?! You sure that's not measured in Newton-metres (Nm) instead . If so, then you'd have a more believable 248lb ft.

If that IS in lb ft, then well done - nice one!
