Apologies for hijacking thread, but seeing as I've found a couple of the knowledgeable turbo guys out in the open...

How does the VF29 differ from the 28?

Sorry. I have no first hand experience of a VF29 so cannot say.
When the VF28 came off I fitted an Ion Spec turbo last October and with no other mods that went from 377bhp to 417bhp. Further developments have taken that to 450bhp and 376ft/lbs although I have another graph for 479bhp and 376ft/lbs but until I repeat that result I prefer to discount it.

No showing off. Just hard factual info to benefit others.
