Post by race_to_live »

Simply put ( in case you are lazy LMAO)

VF-36/37 are the twin scroll turbos ( meaning they separate the exhaust channels into two paths "twin scrolls" ) Standard turbos use one path for the exhaust gases.

The VF-22 is an early large turbo, roller bearing. ( GC chassis STI/WRX coupe/sedan)

The VF-34 is a later series Ball bearing turbo. ( Sti GDA/GDB sedan)
