VF22<==poll==>VF34
please give me a vote and suggestions on a 06' STI. is their anybody out there who went through both and liked one over the other? please, i need to soak up ideas before choosing.
Neither for your STi, research and purchase an FP Green, your 2.5 liter will utilize more of the turbo throughout the powerband, and spool times are low with those turbo's. Cheers

well im not looking for more than pushing over 350whp, nor do i want to upgrade the internals. im just looking for a little more thrill with what i can afford. granted the air force pays me good, but not enough. i was leaning towards the vf22 because top end is my preference, and i want to push that turbo as hard as i can with supported mods, and hope to achieve at least 320whp. on the other hand, i love that whiplash feeling that the vf34 has to offer. now i can still enjoy that over having a better top end. anyways, help me out people!!!

2) Anything larger than the stock turbo will require a fuel system upgrade = injectors, pump, lines and rails.
3) Think engine management. Ecutek at a minimum... then cobb accessport and then Utek. This is in order of your ability to tune the engine. For the Utek you have to have a reflash.
4) Upgrade your exhaust and intake systems.
350 whp is alot for a STI. You can absoultly have a stock internal car at this level but everything else needs to be stage IV.
