td05 20g
Where's the best places to purchase a td05 20g, or is it better to get my original td05 converted. Trying to go for the best option.
Some places in the uk sell on an exchange basis, but there is a place on ebay that do the td05 20g brand new for around the £500 mark, coming from japan. In two minds, sounds a good deal, with it being brand new, and means i'll keep my original td05 for a spare or sell on. Anyone had any dealings with this ebay chap, warehousejapan. Any info on this subject and possible which direction to take would be most helpfull in making my mind up.

Like i say, this chap on ebay does them for £495 brand new, and no exchange , so i get to keep my own tdo5 as a spare or sell it on to recoup a bit of money, but i really need to know if anyone has any feedback on this blokes turbo's and has anyone bought a turbo from him on ebay (warehousejapan)
Just trying to weigh up the best option.

hi m8 i too had seen these and was wondering about them myself
only thing i can suggest is that at least with Andy f if there is a fault with the turbo he would more than likely be able to repair or replace,
when obviously if buying from japan and it don`t work correctly a lot of myther to get it changed and there is the dreaded import tax if you are not lucky! 
sometimes a cheap bargain aint always a bargain in the long run! and anyways there are always td05`s popping up on ebay all the time i have a spare on here now if you are interested is used but worked fine when removed

i've actually tried to contact some other people that have bought turbo's off him in japan, via his feedback score etc, but have'nt heard anything as of yet.

Stick with an andy F turbo,you know it will be an excellent piece of kit and help with any problems is only a phone call away.Also one of Andy's turbos normally carries a slight premium if you ever decide to sell it at a later date.

Also don't forget you will have to pay duty on it around $100 that is what I paid for mine. You are better off getting it from here as if anything breaks you will not have a problem???

If the turbo is being bought from Japanwarehouse ive heard that these dont produce nearly as much power as a genuine Andy F turbo i think there has been a few posts about these people on here might be worth a search
My advice is to stick with the original article from a well known and respected supplier just my opinion of course,as you are welcome to waste your money wherever you wish
