Sorry to hear about your turbo, it must have properly exploded if it's beyond repair, luck of the drawer though, sad times! Where have you tried so far to get a turbo from?? Are you looking to buy a new unit with warranty or a reconditioned unit, or just plain used?
There seems to be several online companies that sell new units, a few that do reconditioned units and you could try online breaker yard search sites so ask around for a used unit. If you use the latter option you can take the chance to dismantle and thoroughly clean the turbo so that the vanes can do their full movement and is not clogged up with soot.
If you are looking to buy new, but standard, I recommend choosing a PD150 turbo as the internals are a little stronger and I think the only mod you would need is a different turbo to pancake pipe, which you could buy used.
Tell us about this Edition 30 intercooler, isn't that a mkV Golf? Just curious as there's potentially a few challenges fitting that if it is, compared to a mkIV PD150 one anyways.
