Yes a vf22 is a good turbo and should get you those numbers, a vf35/34 is also an option along with a front entry td05-16g, all similar max power outputs with some spool variations between them.

One of my Customers cars is running a vf22, its from a 98 wrx import that my Brother imported years ago, we got 369bhp and 355 ft lbs on a 2.0 high comp engine running 20% meth, goes really well :-) Not a direct comparison but I have driven a few cars with them fitted and they work well.

they are very good figures, was that with 440 injectors? well to be honest i am hoping its not the turbo thats broken but if it is do you think 140 pounds is cheap for a vf22?

Just in regards to 440cc injectors, im running them at the moment and made 366.1bhp.

It's got 650's as it was running an md321t, but it went pop so chucked the 22 on for now, 440's should be good for mid to high 300's really.
Yes £140 is cheap, I'd be suprised if it doesn't make over £200
