What is your model and year of your car?

the TD05 16g is good, your downfall will be the smaller injectors, non mappable ecu, crap brakes etc that you need to upgrade really to do the 280+bhp, so it wont exactly be cheap.....

If you wanted the TD05, you'd have to cut of the top entry snorkel or fit a FE comp cover or buy a AF 16g, etc.

VF28 is a straight fit, but if considering that, best bet is a VF35 - makes a bit more bhp than the 28 and is stronger (the VF30-series turbos are that much younger than the VF20s). Don't worry, the 35 is still a lively turbo too.

Get 550cc injectors - good for c.350-410bhp so a bit of 'future proofing'... as well as being okay for either of those mentioned turbos' 320+ capability.

VF30. Best bang for buck IMHO

Well as long as you have a new mappable ecu and decent brakes (NOT the crappy 2 pot ones that are on there now but something that will slow the car down ) and maybe a panel filter and a 3 inch exhaust to go with it (and the turbo + some 440 or 550 cc injectors)
