GONEWALKABOUT, all the other stuff is already here waiting to put on. Didn't want to go over the top but also want as much safe as possible with some fun :)

jslayz, just went through your thread. Very very very sexy and well done car. I'm drooling. Might be too much turbo for me on a stocker.
Will go look at what maj3sticrow has and thoughts. Appreciated

bigBADbenny, awesome advice. Thank you. Is why i really don't want to change injectors. Need a limit otherwise i know myself too well and just keep trying to up it...tilllllll :shock: 98, nothing huge but chasing a bit more pull and drive ability

blacktop™, thank you. Looks like that's where the wallet is heading. Will find out early next week.

i was doing some reading and in the VF52's arguement It seems to spool only around 200rpm slower than the stock turbo but obviously with the addition of the new intercooler and bov the turbo can see towards 300 hp at the wheels

EDIT: Additional info if helpful
The 16G is rated at 38lb/min the 380XT is 40lb/min

The 18G is rated at 41lb/min and the 440xt is 44lb/min

Note 10cm rear recommended for more top end :)

Just bought a VF52 from onboost performance!
Going to let Matt do his magic to see what gains i get over the stock turbo on the 7th of December.

Hows everyone going with their VF52's and 380xt's?

Anything worth reporting back with?

VF52 is running sweet. Been 7 months on it now. Def slower to come on full boost then vf46. but much bigger kick :D

Thanks Victor. Do you have an auto or manual? Just looking to see which is a better option to upgrade to.

Does anyone know if its worth getting a VF52 from the states? The pricing seems quite reasonable in comparison for a brand new unit.
