tdo5 turbo is fitted as standard, what other mods do you have? this will help on choosing the right turbo.

Well with a new different turbo, you'll need to get it re-mapped anyway?

Was the car re-mapped with the current set of mods?

Yeah it should be, prob with the decat, definitely if your putting a bigger turbo on it. I know you'll get a more techy answer of someone, but standard ecu is not designed for the different gas (air) flow, as well as the new spool time, pressure etc of a new turbo. Running on boost could really damage the engine.
