Thanks all i think the chap i got it from used and abused it and cut corners thats why it has a vf23 i think i have already spent loads on it crank seals - air intake pipe -gaskets - etc etc i am fed up but i luv it and really want it fixes the prob is i can only just afford a turbo let a loan a re-map lol

would the vf23 done any damage to my car and would you be able to go from a vf35 to a vf23 with out a re-map would it be ok to put same back on if really needed ?

Just a thought, but if the previous owner was the sort of person who cut corners maybe the car is still on its original VF35 map ?
Any mapper could confirm this by plugging in their laptop to check and if you travel to meet them they probably wouldn't charge much.
