Default Tuned Focus st 250 turbo advice

Hi guy's,
I think the seal might have gone on my turbo. I noticed a high pitched whining before the turbo kicked in and when I looked out of the back window it was like a smoke screen behind me. Over 2000 revs it seems to clear up and I start to get boost pressure but obviously I haven't floored it, just limped a few miles home.
I've got it booked in the garage for Saturday, and if it does turn out to be the turbo can you guys recommend a sterdy replacement.
It's around 300bhp on factory turbo. I was thinking about the pumaspeed stage 1 upgraded turbo, but wondered what you guys think
Thanks in advance

Cheaper and easier to get it rebuilt I'd have thought, unless you're looking to change it anyway

Thanks for the reply. I did change it for a slightly bigger one because 300bhp is pushing it for the stock turbo. Now I have another problem after fitting a new actuator yay
