Looks like i can get my hands on a TD04HLA turbo from a manual 2.0GT if i wanted, along with the standard dump-pipe to fit.
I have the auto GT with the stock vf38 turbo, and have read that the TD04HLA that comes on the manual version of the car is better for power. Would it work? Is it worth the change?
Cheers,

Don't quote me on this but I'm pretty sure the TD04HLA turbo will bolt straight on, the only problem you'll have lies with the standard TD04HLA dump pipe.
There's a difference between auto and manual dump pipes and I'm sure the TD04HLA dump won't fit with an auto (Maybe send PHAT an e-mail to check).
You could try talking to an exhaust shop and have a dump fabricated to suit the TD04HLA.
As for the difference between the two turbo's, the TD04HLA is the larger of the two and would more than likely be the better option power wise.
