I ended up replacing the whole turbo which, as it turned out, was the right thing in my case as the turbo was completely rusted. I bought the unit from a specialist breaker who had it posted to me. If you decide to go that way, I can give you details.
I got a village garage to fit it for me and as it was rusted on, it took them 4 hours but they didn't charge me the full price.
Having got the photo of the part, it might be worth having a look to see if the rest is OK before deciding. The difference in performance made the outlay in my case, fully worth it especially as I will be towing a caravan next weekend.
