I made 345/440Nm with vf35 and 440ccs with Fuellab FPR.
As far as i know they will struggle to make anything over 350.

If I could make 345/440Nm I would be a happy man
What boost level was you running to get these figures?

VF22 is a bit weak so would not be advisable to run 1.5 bar on it, 440s will run to about 340-350 bhp

Cheers for all the advice guys. I read that the VF22 was a good turbo but a little fragile with big boost figures,some say very laggy but I don't feel that,maybe the close ratio box helps? I will probably stick to no higher than 1.4bar.
I also have a scoobyworx 3 port boost solenoid to fit,but again my reaserch shows a BIG no no without mapping

My plan of attack would be pump, decat, fmic and remap. Also look into heat management mods to keep charge temps down 3 port is a bonus not a necessity at this level

Cheers banny,I will put the pump on this week as part of the service,I have bought a air charge temp gauge to monitor temps,I kind of like the ic water spray and was going to upgrade the tmic and do some testing with say 10-20% IPA in the bottle(I have endless supply's of it ) the rest of my upgrades will have to wait until I have the ESL board
If can achieve an extra 40-50 horses then this will do for me as anything over that I don't think the gearbox will like too much,it already revs like a motorX bike
