VF34 is far superior to the 35 and TD range IMO........

VF24 was always a popular choice of turbo for the Grp N cars, quick spool with the P18 exhaust housing.

Well the car is nearly done, and went for a 34- bob is going to map the new engine for als and launch control and then go!
Question- did you run dump valves or no?

Forget the VF series mate...they are prone to failure and have a weak spot which is by the wastegate (prone to cracking) ...I've seen enough of them let go! Get yourself a decent TD series Turbo mate they will give you good power and response if its mapped good.

if your running a/l or l/c no dv and servo will need deleting as well
the waste gate will dump pressure

VF34 is probably THE best single scroll restricted turbo
