The VF35 is a much more capable turbo and is not just "plug and play"........you need to improve breathing (panel filter), exhaust (de-cat /sports cat), port the headers if you want, spark plugs (PFR7B) and improve fuelling (walbro pump), boost control (3 -port) , better intercooler (STi TMIC or Harvey FMIC) and then get the whole lot mapped..........around 330 BHP

Definately get yourself a fuel pump and spark plugs. Sports cat or decat is very beneficial to get the most from the setup along with a filter of sorts. £ port solenoid is not essential at this level of tune, though always beneficial. Of course then a complete remap is necessary asap.

If there is one of those small oil filters in the oil line, junk it! these have been known to clog up and cause turbo failures.

The VF35 can suffer from boost creep, worth looking into getting the wastegate ported if it hasn't already been done
