Morning all,

I am having a new VF35 fitted tonight in place of my TD04L... I am booked in for a remap thursday, Will I be ok to drive the car slowly and gently off boost to the garage for the reamp? about 1 hours drive, could poodle at 50 on motorway

cheers
Sam

yes just drive off boost, however with where you are driving is good because it allows your car at first hand to get used to the new turbo before map.

you'll love the vf35 especially in 3rd gear and that whack in the back when on song

Excellent, I have been advised it's the best turbo for my target of a driveable 350bhp without having to forge or change gearbox etc

Excited for remap Thursday now

sc36 would be better than vf35 but not as cheap lol

Good choice mate, mine made mid 340s with the vf35
You'll be fine running off boost to the mapping session. The ECU will run closed loop on light throttle so the fueling etc should be ok.

One word to the wise tho, how's your clutch? Mine was only 30k old and started slipping during the mapping. Just managed to hold 1.35 bar of boost to complete the mapping but became unusable on boost the next day. Anything over 300bhp will kill the OEM clutch in no time.

Awesome! Thats what I'm hoping for something around the Mid 300's

Thanks for the heads up... Mine seems ok, Only had the car a couple of months but the guy I purchased from said it had a brand new exedy uprated (unknown spec??) clutch 3000 miles ago so about 4000 miles ago now, so fingers crossed will be ok.

Thanks!

Ah well you should be fine if it's already got an uprated clutch in there. I was shocked how quick my standard clutch deteriorated after the mapping.

What other mods you done? Usual injectors, exhaust etc?

Yeah just the usual...

Full Decat 3" Turbo Back Exhaust
RCM Up Pipe
550cc STI Pink Injectors
STI Top Mount
HKS Mushroom Filter
Freshly Refurbed VF35

Fingers Crossed should see good results

Exactly the same as mine cept I've just got the standard airbox and my intercooler is from some company in the US. You should be pushing out similar if not better power than my WRX. Mine was prob hitting 350 @ 1.45 bar but Andy dialled it back a bit due to the clutch slipping, reliability etc.

It's some hike in power mate, get ready for it

this sounds all good guys cause that's me getting the parts to try and get about 330
