I take it you have an MY97 version 3 STI?
You can get the odd vf23 in the for sale section, if not try somewhere like this http://www.turboactive.com/ProductPa...mSearchPage=No but note this is only a place I found on the net that sells these, I would ask someone at tyne tees scoobies or try Harvey Smith if they know this place and does it have a good reputation.

Its a good time to upgrade your turbo mate. Try an aftermarket one or a newage one instead.

vf24s and vf28s are similar turbos but will need remap, you might get away with a vf24 as a straight swap but you would have to find out of someone who knows for definate
vf35/34 newer upgrades will need remap aswell

No point in upgrading really, the vf23 is one of the bigger vf turbo's, you wouldnt be upgrading either, if anything you would require a remap (circa 500 quid for an ESL chip/map) if you changed turbo's.
