VF-35

[georryan]

Has anyone had any experience with the VF-35? Details are uncertain, but I might have a lead on being able to purchase one fairly soon. I was origionally wanting to go with the vf-23, but this turbo might be just as good or better. I'd appreciate any thoughts.

Isn't that the twin scroll turbo? If it is You will need at least the DP because it's different. I don't know about the up-pipe, it may also be different. In any case you wouldn't use the twin scroll part of it unless you got the manifolds.

Twin scroll? I didn't think it was a twin scroll. Hmm, I'll have to look into that.

You must be thinking of the VF36 or VF37

I know the vf37 is twin scroll not sure about the other one and there are two.

If it's not twin scroll I'd say go for it. There is plenty of turbo jockeys around "VF this, VF that, 16G" but any turbo off anything WRX is going to be enough for what you can get for power without going crazy on other mods.

I think one is the roller bearing version, and the other is the ball bearing version. Similar to how the VF30 and VF34 are. And there's like 4 twin scroll turbos.

Well from what i've learned it is not a twin scroll as far as i can tell. It has the p18 intake hosing and the p15 exhaust housing (I think that is correct). Either way, I talked to deadbolt enterprises and they didn't recomment it to the 2.2 because of potential boost creep with the larger displacement engine. He felt the 23 would be much better for our engines.

I'm sure deadbolt knows their stuff. But you can always port out the wastgate hole.
