Just a suggestion find a shop you like. I happen to be a GST customer. Call up whatever so you pick and let them know your plans. Often times they know people who may have the parts you are looking for laying around. Then they can install and tune them.

It's work and money. But definatley worth it.
You could buy a used td04 and try and rebuild yours yourself? That's what I would do if/when (knock on wood) my vf39 dies
Or 20g haha

I like the vf series idea. I'd go for 43 cause i hear the 39 sometimes crack. But i have upgraded midpipe, catless uppipe, SRI, Full 3in Catless exhaust, Sti top mount, and running cobb stage 2 v3. So i'd have to get injectors, tune, and fuel pump with it. $$$$$. Does anyone know how long these turbos last until they stop working all together? I'm holding boost pretty well right now and i've had the dealer inspect it and it appears to be a bearing or impeller issue.

hmm that's interesting. idk how reliable rebuilds are from other places. I was thinking of going new maybe for at least a td04. thanks for the link and all the suggestions.
