11mm is absolutely worth it in every sense combined with a bigger than stock turbo.
For those interested in what a GT2052v performs like on an admittedly damp day...
Cheap, plentiful, perfect combo if you actually need to use your car every day, just gotta be careful of giving her too much air low down as if you get it burning the fuel, it will give you cylinder head issues.
Hehehe that looks class craic. Sore on tyres though lol
Completely different style of driving to a td04 though, my car rarely breaks free unless im really trying to provoke it.

I tend to use ebay for buying TD04s.
Usually get them around £60-90 all in incl postage
Perhaps postage to the south from the UK is worse than for me up in the north?
Quite a few of them specify can't post to Ireland. Can't remember if were considered western europe or rest of worldpostage would be slightly more expensive to here but a very viable option
What I really meant was pawing through scrapyards down here, nowhere would sell a GT15 for less than €180 for example (or a K03 for €300 for that matter) where my K14-2/OM606 turbo was £40 in Camlough where I had a choice of 3 to test and choose from.....
If youve any friends or relatives up north get it posted there, they generally dont have a problem posting to the north. Ive had 3 delivered with no issue. If your really stuck you can get it sent to me and drive up for it.
