free bump for allegedly one of the most 'drivable' turbos ever, fast spool n good for approx 300+bhp would have it myself if i didn't have an sc36 great upgrade from td04.
The VF24 has much better spool, but the TD05 will give better ultimate power, but is laggy as hell compared to the VF. All depends what power you have now and what yor ultimately looking for, and whether you want drivability vs power when you need it.
my similar vf23 made 370. proven more than once, with a few ported components, no-one ever beleives it though ha
i run a vf23,it was last dynoed at 334bhp and has had better headers and a remap with more boost and timing since,so who knows whats possible...i believe you mate!
Best I got from my VF24 on STi3 Wagon, all supporting mods but still TMIC was 335 bhp and it was operating outside its efficiency zone.
These can be good turbos, reasonable spool, slightly less power than TD05 16G.
Check exhaust housing for cracking from the area of the penny valve into the exhaust housing.
