Going to buy a VF23 Turbo and was just wondering if anyone can give me some information on it and whats the most bhp you can get out of it, also if anyone is running one what do they think of it. any info on it would be appreciated, ive checked the search button but cant find much info on them.

About 330 BHP +-20% difference for various rolling roads

Avoid boost over 20 PSI for longevity of this turbo IMHO.

Thanks that would be enough, only looking for a liitle over 300, got some 550cc injectors, uprated fuel pump, and a ecutek remap to go with this turbo, what bhp do you think id be looking at.

id agree with the 20 psi warning

i ran mine at about 1.35bar peak and it "seamed" happy

i then cranked it up to 1.4 bar to dispose of a friends evo late one night and "forgot" to turn it back down (it was just to addictive LOL)
the next day i went for a blast in the country and the inlet wheel shatterd (im telling ya i was like Sticky-Solberg)

As above - compressor wheels are very fragile. VF34 would be a better option in this day and age IMHO.

Yesterday a good friend of mine got 309bhp/310lbft at ProSport with a VF23@1.35bar midrange tailing of to 1.1bar on a MY99 with full decat and ported headers but std TMIC, airbox, injectors etc.

There is probably more bhp to come but it's mapped fairly safely at the moment.
