i've seen a few vf39 turbos on sale. i know the wastegate is prone to cracking...

worth investing in one?

 

My buddy upgraded to an fp green and the old vf39 was cracked...

 

There are those who had the crack and seemed to work with no issues (or not that many issues, heh.) I for one would spend a bit more and go with a turbo with less potential problems.

If you look around there are 34s and 22s decently priced and with a good tune you'll have a fun daily driver. Or you could just shell out some $$$ and get a "real" turbo.

I for one went with a 34 and couldn't be happier. Ok, I lie, but it's what my budget allowed and suits my needs very well.

haha you know what they say, once you make more horsepower, you want more. its a neverending pit of mods and money.

i think ill stay away from a vf39 and go with what i really want. a vf34 or vf30. ok, i lied too... but its so much cheaper than the other turbos that i rather have.
