Most definately yes the V5 is a cracking "little" turbo and will see you the right side of 300 bhp and the best thing about the vf35 is it spools up almost as quickly as a TD04. My 2005 WRX made 320 bhp and 405nm of torque at 1.25 bar.

P.s you'll need a remap though and it may be an idea as i did to have the wastegate on the VF35 ported as this turbo is known to suffer from "boost creep "

Was the figures based on standard injectors

thanks

Sti pinks i bought them 2nd hand off here for £125.00 i think.

Thanks, wanted to know what i would manage with standard injectors

I have vf34 on my 03 wrx with your mods, made 289bhp. Injectors were ok at that but went on, upgraded T/M intercooler and fuel pump- tubular headers re-map, made 332bhp but injectors in big trouble. changed to pinks and all is well.

Be a shame not to be able to use the turbo properly, on my 02STI we managed 340 bhp !

Pinks plus VF35 = Happy !

Had this turbo on my MY01 WRX, very good...

However, I think it is only really worth doing if you plan to fit STI injectors, an STI intercooler, an uprated fuel pump, decent exhuast system and have a re-map - you will see 320bhp+ (recommend you keep it under 350bhp due to the gearbox tolerances)

I have the VF35, front mount, STI Pinks, remap, full de-ct exhaust systemt and uprated fuel pump and made 326bhp.

Very good upgrade for you WRX IMO

Mine made 320bhp on full decat,exhaust, headers sti pinks , VF35 and a remap.

It was still on the standard WRX intercooler though.

alrite ive been told my injectors will do 300 at most is there any good turbo out there that i can use to reach that speed without changing injectors.

thanks

what are you views on the VF28 with relation to above many thanks again

dunx 27 September 2008 05:31 PM

PM me if you want a mint VF35, only done 39,000 miles.
