Well the way I see it you've got 2 choices.
You can either buy it or not buy it.

Yeah I guessed that already lol
Just wondering if it's a better turbo to have... What power could be achieved etc

It all depends on what you want from the turbo. You'll get a faster spool but probably less top end flow.
An exact comparison depends on which TD04 you have

The 2052 wont make the same power figure as the td04 because set up well they do make some pretty horrific power figures, but personally a gt series would be easier to drive and probably more fun to. And it'll make epic win noises.
Doesnt even own a 306.

Put a 2056 on it, it will spool up better than a TD04 and make waaaayyy more top end power.
Win, win. :-)

I had a hybrid turbo made out of lots of various bits, but it was something like a GT2556s with 360* bearing, staggered oil seals, titanium shaft etc etc. It was on full boost by 2500rpm, and revved out as far as I dared (6k) holding 28psi no problems. Made nearly 210hp on that turbo.
That said, it was pricey. £700.

I was also thinking of selling the car too guys
Seen a very nice gti6 in black for sale a couple of streets away from me.
Always wanted a gti6.... But whether I'd be happy with one is another thing I suppose.
So I've put up a thread just to see what people think my sedans worth to sell it
