First, this setup works great and I'm only considering selling because I'm leaning towards going to a front-mount, STI VF39 and STI injectors.
There has been a lot of speculation on here about just what a VF8 is and to be honest I have no clue other than what seems to be the general consensus; the VF8 came on the European market RS-RA Legacy. It is larger than a TD-04/VF10/VF11 but smaller than a TD-05 16G. It does have the 90 degree inlet and is welded to the turbo instead of bolted. It is a direct drop-in replacement for a Legacy turbo but as always do your research on which oil lines fit which cars, etc.
On my car full-boost (12psi) is achieved at 3k rpm if not a little before. My experience with it is that it pulls very hard in the midrange and tapers up top but I am running it on a 2.4L destroker motor.
I would like to switch to a newer STI turbo and injector set (which is bigger I guess and should make more power at the same boost levels).
So I'm seeing if theres any interest in buying all of these items as a set. This is all you would need to go from a stock Legacy turbo to WRX power. I am running this setup with no form of EMS, on a stock Legacy EJ22T ECU and fuel pump. These injectors will make your car run rich and reduce your fuel economy but I guarentee it is a safe mod. Rich = safe.
I get about 18mpg on this setup and make similar power as a stock 2.0L WRX.
So to recap:
-VF8 (unknown mileage, its been on this car for 60k miles, pulls hard doesn't leak or make noise)
-440cc graytop side-feed injectors (I have a 5th injector as a spare, do your own research to make sure these fit as I am using EJ20G fuel rails)
-02-03 WRX topmount with silicone y-pipe but NO BYPASS VALVE, get your own!
VF8 seems to go for about $270
440cc injectors are worth at around $100 easily
topmount plus aftermarket y-pipe and connectors $150
That adds up to about $500. I am certainly more than open to best offers and like I said this is testing the waters.
Please don't ask me to separate just yet, that might come down the road.
Also, I'd prefer you to reply in this thread, I will check it. Save me the PM space.
