Max BHP of a vf28 is circa 330bhp with supporting mods. I have one fitted to my 99MY mapped by Andy Forrest at 1.3 bar.

IHI turbo.
The VF series (VF22, VF23, VF24, VF29, VF30) are the most common direct replacement turbos. All VF-series turbochargers use the same roller bearing, water-cooled core assembly. The differences are in their wheels and housings to achieve different flows.

The VF22 has the largest potential for peak horsepower. In other words, in the IHI model range, the VF 22 supports the highes boost levels. It is capable of running up to 25 psi. Because it is a roller bearing turbo, turbo lag is minimal...the boost comes on around 3300 rpm. Expect to max out the VF22 somewhere in the 400-450 hp range.

The VF23 starts the middle ground. It comes on boost around 3100 rpm and is capable of running 20 psi of boost. Expect to max out the VF23 somewhere in the 300-350 hp range.

The VF 24 starts to come on around 2900 rpm and will significantly improve power through the midrange over the stock TD04 turbo. However, the VF 24 is only capable of running around 17 psi.

The VF23 and VF 24 are a great replacement for those who value drivability higher than maximum power.

The VF29 & VF30 delivers a very wide increase in torque over the standard TD-series turbos. It is important to note that the VF30 is not a roller bearing turbo.

A TD05 20G or similar, an uprated gearbox, fmic, induction, aftermarket ecu to stop the maf going though you can still use the original ecu, remap, clutch, injectors, engine rebuild, uprated brakes... (get the gist? )
Go for a vf35 and run around 340bhp (with supporting mods), its more than enough and it (shouldnt) kill your engine (but you take that risk tuning anyway)

Made 360 out of one on a fresh 2.0L engine a few years back.
Was with 740cc injectors,apexi PFC, front mount, tubular headers and 3inch exhaust.

On the previous engine with 440's, top mount, and ecutek it made 330. Both runs were done on Scooby Clinic's rollers.
