hi. I need some help.
Waiting on my p1 coming back with a newly built forged stroker. 2.15 I think with some other work, head stud conversion and the likes. On a serious budget now after this and want to know about turbo choice. As far as I know it's a standard vf28. Is a vf35 a decent upgrade if I can get my hands on 1 at decent money? I'll need to get it mapped anyway and I want as much hp as I can afford in the short term until I can stretch to a big turbo and management.
I also have a decat and blitz nur spec and a Hyperflow top mount.
Will I need injectors for a vf35?
Can anyone help?
Any idea of figures for standard turbo and vf35?

IIRC the 35 will not have much over and above a 28. Stick with the 28 until you can afford the big turbo. A bigger turbo may lunch your gearbox though so budget for that too!

Ned Han

I was hoping I could maybe stretch another 10-20hp from a vf35. Looking on here some of you guys think they'll make 340-350 but maybe only 330 on a vf28. I'm also guessing these figures are with supporting mods but on a 2.0 and mines a 2.1.
I'll have to get it mapped anyway and thought it would be a cheap upgrade at this stage.
I can always sell the vf28 after.

The 2.1 will give you more torque as opposed to outright bhp

Ned Han

Yeah but can I expect to see 350?
Will the vf35 give more torque again?

Not a clue. Never used a small turbo

Ned Han

The big turbo will come but I just can't stretch to it now😢

I got 350 bhp 325 lbft using a vf28 on my old P1, Andy Forrest remap.

I only got 313/300 from a 35 on my Uk Turbo. I have seen people get towards 350 but 330 seems about the average.

results vary, for what it is if you cant pick one up cheap (that isnt damaged) then i'd just stay with what you have. Should be nice and punchy

Ned Han

Think your right. It'll be interesting to see how it turns out
