Default Turbo on way out.

I think my VF28 might be on the way out (slightly smokey on tickover) so my question is, what would be a good substitute for it as I fancied a change anyway.
I'm looking for around 350bhp.

View my Scooby for current mods.

not a 20g


go for a 16g or a vf34 , and a tweek on the map , go back to the original mapper and he should only be charging you around 150 quid.

but

when i was running 345/340 on my old vf34 the gearbox started whining in 3rd , car had done 54000 miles on a Y reg (classic)
changed a bit since then


IMHO your best sticking around the 320-330 bhp area unless you can afford PPG or 6-speed .
look at the TD04 hybrid from Andy F
