vf28 from a td04 is pretty simple just need to make sure you have the correct banjo bolts for the vf28 and it requires less oil being a rollerbearing turbo so smaller holed banjos.

nice difference in power without loosing spool up time.

What would you say are the downsides to a VF28 then Bob...?

I would imaging strength at higher psi would be the obvious one!

VF28s can be a bit fragile. TD05s are as tough as old boots.
