AaronW Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 hey,i run a vf23, and was td04 before it.im only running 13psi at the moment (forged and to be mapped)im happier with the vf23 and like said they make good power, when redlineing it and changing gear id say theres exactly a second before full boost again, i have 265 cams and head work which obviously effects it.i read they are only meant to run 20psi. like 1.38bar. im going to run 1.4bar when i get mapped.Aaron Quote Link to post Share on other sites
_shaun_ Posted May 5, 2011 Author Share Posted May 5, 2011 ahh sounds good ill only be doing 1.1-1.2 bar as on stock engine its a direct swap for a td04 isnt it? are oil and water lines the same? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AaronW Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 yeh straight swap apart from the oil return is slightly smaller on the vf so i used the td04 one and drilled the bolt holes bigger.how much are you paying for it, if you dont mind me asking? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
_shaun_ Posted May 5, 2011 Author Share Posted May 5, 2011 well guy stoped me in supermarket and just randomly spouted out wanna buy my turbo. says he upgraded his scooby to a vf34 and his vf23 is mint no shaft play /seals all good said he was gonna put it on ebay but if i appeared with 100quid in hand he couldnt say no . so think ill go see condition of it and take it from there think its a fair price?
