umm www.fastwrx.com theres plenty of sites that sell VF39's. If you were really cool you'd buy an 18g

i-club or nasioc classifieds is your best bet if you want a used one.

Why exactly are you looking for a VF39? If you are upgrading the injectors and fuel pump you might be better off getting a VF34 or 16G

you can get used STi vf39's for around $300, just keep an eye out in your local classifieds forum.

Be aware that most of the vf39's from the STi will have a crack on the wastegate...it is very common. Supposedly it does not affect performance at all but I would be wary on buying a cracked turbo.

I went 18g....
