send urs off if u ent planning on upping the power will b cheaper option or buy a good used 1 and use ur actuator so the boost is still the same so u ent risking it running to lean when on boost

You never know they might be fine on low to mild boost.
It can be tempting to buy cheaper turbo.But id prefere to buy a trusted brand at the right price.everyone to their own. :-p

But sound advice, if it were my car and i was keeping it i would probably opt for a rebuild from a company like CR turbos or turbo developments, i would guestimate between £3-400, if your not keeping the car i would go for a good used t3 off of flee bay.
