It depends on what car its going on what power you want, supporting mods etc.... The general thing is to get the smallest turbo that will meet your power goals.

If it was me, id go for a vf28 or a vf34 turbo, hybrid fmic, ported headers and matched up pipe, rcm induction kit and a walbro fuel pump. Get that lot mapped and you should get your figures and a completely different car

Best place to look is the Classified "For Sale" forums on here - you should come across one immediately... or very soon. Set-up a daily email subs on them, so you don't miss any that pop up.

eBay is good source for 2nd hand turbos too...

for 280 - 300 bhp you won't need a fmic save your money. talk to a mapper who will do the work for you and see what they think, might cost you a bit less in the long run to meet your needs.

May have got over excited with front mount but surely you will need a sti tmic at the least?

not really, the standard top mount is usually ok for up to 300 bhp

the td05 20g is way too big for the power your wanting.
Ideally if you can get an Andy Forrest hybrid TD04 then that would be perfect for what your wanting.
Otherwise a VF28, VF34 or a VF35 would be the way to go
