Recentley got to see a new STI Japan MY01 spec it has a VF30 turbo in place. Now what is this turbo and how does it compare to a VF23 ?

I asked about this turbo a while ago not knowing it was the one used on the STI, however no one appeared to know anything about it.

WREXY.

Some of the early pictures showed the STi with a VF29 turbo, which is basically a new version of the VF24/28 with a more modern impeller design. I presume that the VF30 is similar in nature, but not sure, could try to find out if it's important....

Hi Pat,

I wouldn't mind some information on this turbo, that's if it is not too much trouble for you to find out please.

Thanks in advance,
WREXY.

WREXY,

I have found out some interesting info about the VF30 turbo, suffice to say that going by the spec it should work *really* well.... I cannot say any more than that, it's a bit hush hush. If you require further information may I suggest that you talk to IHI / TurboDynamics / BRD ?

Cheers,

Pat.

Thanks for the info Pat.

Cheers,
WREXY.
