Default Where to buy turbos?

Hi I have been doing a few searches but havent had much luck. My TD04 has 100k kms ion it and is starting to blow some smoke. Where is a good local or online store to buy a new TD04 or similar turbo such as vf35. I want something that spools up about the same as the TD04 as Im running stock ECU.

Any help is appreciated as the cheapest turbo I have found is a VF35 at xspeed for $1320. Im happy enough with the TD04 if I could just find a new one.

Best off grabbing a second hand one off a low km 05 or something. Get them cheap as chips (The TD04 that is)

yeah they are more expensive ($1,401.47) than xspeed and there is no postage with xspeed. Thanks for the links though, havent seen that site before.

Thanks for all the links guys, been trying to get my bugeye running well for a few months now, going to get a new turbo or maybe one with 10,000kms or less. Dont want to swap it again for another few years.

find a cheap vf34 and switch the rear housing with a vf35, its about the closest spool you'll get to a TD04 with a lot more top-end.
