i ve got an IHI VF10 turbo charger ive checked loads of threads on scoobynet but cant find anything on this type of turbo. has anyone heard of this type if so whats so good,bad about it cheers.

 

It is off a Legacy, but smaller than a VF12 fitted to the UK Legacy turbo. I think this was the smaller one fitted to the US 2.2 Legacy turbo which ran low boost but (relatively) a lot of low down torque. They will be quite old by now.

 

Thanks John. I was told it was a very good turbo and it was org fitted to a rally car but cant seem to see what benefit that would give it over a td05

 

It will not outperform a TD05.

 

I dont think it will come close to a tdo4 let alone tdo5.

I have a few of these at the moment,they where fitted to a legacy twin turbo,so only half the power realy.

 

I have a VF8 on my Legacy. Good turbo though

15 years old and still no play. Marvellous!

 

Sorry,mistake,the turbos I have are vf13 and vf14.
Still they are very small and wont give a very high output if used singly IMO.

Must be pretty reliable though,as no one seems to want them.
