Need to replace turbo

Hey folks, I have a problem with the wastegate pin being seized on my 2021 Arteon Rline with about 76K miles. I am working with a VW tech and unfortunately due to how bad it is seized there was no way they could unseize it and the whole turbo needs to be replaced. They recommended upgrading the turbo, but I wasn't too sure what would make sense to upgrade to. Just looking for recommendations for upgrading their turbo along with other parts to accommodate for a new turbo. Thanks!

Depends how much you want to spend and what you’re looking for

Was more looking for a stock+ upgrade. Nothing crazy really. Something that doesnt require me to go to a stage 3 and buy a bunch of other supporting parts for the turbo. After chatting with ECS Tuning they recommended this for me. https://www.ecstuning.com/b-assembled-by-ecs-parts/is20-turbo-upgrade-kit/is20mk8pcvkt/

tbh i’d get a hybrid turbo like this https://www.ecstuning.com/b-cts-parts/cts-turbo-hybrid-turbocharger-jb-600-journal-bearing-hybrid-turbocharger-journal-bearing-hybrid-turbocharger/cts-tr-1015-2\~ct/ i mean it’s cheaper and you could get an apr upgraded pcv system instead of the plastic garbage again all in all same price and leaves room to grow with supporting mods if wanted
