Hi there you can have look for another VF35,but i would recommend have look for VF34/VF30 which are good turbo.

If you're not looking to get much more bhp, then find another VF35 and keep it standard. Bear in mind if you get an upgraded turbo you will need to remap to suit, which obviously then increases costs considerably.

If car has been mapped before,later tweaking is still cheaper than new remap,that's my thoughts.

if i were in this position, having a vf35 myself at 340bhp i would be upgrading and getting map tweak, however as always it depends on what funds allow.
md321 would be my choice
