Where to find remanufactured valve body?

[TassiePorsche]

I have a 2004 Cayenne Turbo in need of a new transmission valve body (yep, that's been said many times before I know). However, it seems that since the last topics on this issue were posted back around 5-10 years ago it's become significantly more difficult and expensive to track down quality rebuilt valve bodies for these cars.

 

Many of the businesses that people used to reccomend such as RevMax no longer supply these valve bodies, and looking online most of the businesses that claim to sell them look incredibly shady and untrustworthy. On eBay, most rebuilt valve bodies for sale are cheap knockoffs from China or from dodgy looking shops in the US that claim they are rebuilt but they've just come straight out of old cars (as per buyer feedback). 

 

There has to be something in between all of these questionable units and a genuine brand new one which is something like $2,500 (or nearly $4000 in Australian dollars which is my local currency). 

 

Has anyone gone through this process in recent times and managed to find a quality rebuilt unit without having to go to Porsche for a brand new one?

 

Any advice would be thoroughly appreciated.
