Tim,
Ken is correct relative to turbocharger lag and a change to the larger TD04 wouldn't provide any advantage unless matching to ECU or other engine enhancement.
A cartridge replacement is a less expensive alternative to the GT17 and are under $490. This would provide a brand new GARRETT internals and allow you to retain the turbine/compressor housings.
If you are a good weekend mechanic you could also attempt to overhaul the GT17 on your own. A $150 kit would come with all interal replacement parts (bearings, oil seals, etc) and instructions.
Best of luck and regards,
Gary K at SWEDISH DYNAMICS,INC.
