when you say turbo changed?
you mean for a replacement unit that's the same, if so, no point doing anything unless you are after more power and economy.
it will run just fine being replaced.

if you mean remapped then you will get more power and economy, e.g. bora tdi 130bhp hit 170bhp better economy too, 3.0td bmw 231 standard, now approx 280bhp, better on juice by around 10%

turbo making right whistling noise took it to turbopacs durham and they confirmed turbo is knackered so getting it replaced with reconditioned standard turbo and was offered a remap at the same time for £300 should I still expect a difference?

remap will be worth it if you're increasing performance, won't do anything it trying to map a turbo to work with engine.
