VF24, 28 and 29 are all similar. I think the P1 came with a 28 or 29.

Possibly some classic STI's.

If you do a search there are loads of threads on this that have some good info if you are thinking about using one.

I use a modified 29. I think 330 -340 hp at a push with all supporting mods.

The VF29 came on the version 6 wrx and wrx ra, the VF28 was fitted to the P1, STI 6 type r and ra and last of all the 22B was fitted with the VF23.

VF29 is an excellent turbo and spools very quickly, the shorter ratios of the type r will make it a very quick road car!

I agree with Banny. The VF29 is the later version and has very subtle improvements over the others (24, 28).

Your power output looks about as good as it gets with the 29 at 1.3bar. When I had mine mapped by AndyF we found that anything above 1.3 was pushing the turbo at high rpm. With an AVCR or other boost controller 1.4ish mid tailing to 1.3 is doable.
