I thought the 22b had the vf22. Could be mistaken though.

The compressor wheel in the VF22 is slightly larger than the 23, which is slightly larger than the 24.
The 22 compressor wheel is however prone to blowing itself to pieces when more than 1 bar is asked of it...some people have been lucky (so far) but many are not.
The 22b were either fitted with a VF22 or a VF23, it doesn't matter which 'model' really either, of the 22b's that I've known (5 or so, at least 4 JDM, and 1 type UK) they've all had VF23's

the sti turbos are also roller bearing so they spool a little quicker too.

Jonny...not true I'm afraid
If it is an IHI VF22/23/24/28/29/30/34/35 series turbo then it is roller bearing, they all are regardless of what it is fitted to (WRX or Sti)
Only the Mitsubishi TD04/05/06 were sleeve bearing turbos
