Wasup guys..haven't posted in the longest time but I'm finally gonna be around ;p (not like i was missed anyways lolz)

Anyways I was wondering how much hp can a 2.5 sti block do with a vf22?

How many pounds reliably (max boost)?

I read 22 lbs somewhere on the forum..is that maxed out and too much above the turbo?

At 22lbs how much hp vs 20 lbs?



Thanks a bunch guys

22 psi is reasonable, but it's not that much bigger than a VF39, and is less efficient. For the money it's a good turbo though.

Yeah definitely worth my 300 bux...haha! but...you didn't answer my question fully.

So you're saying 22 PSI maxboost reliably...sounds good to me..but also what are the HP / torque figures for that?

it's bigger than a VF39, but not by much, so figure maybe 400 bhp out of that turbo. You should be able to get 300whp out of it, depending on supporting mods, tuning, and most importantly- fuel. 22 psi might be the best boost level for that combo, but it could be less.

Thank you for the info..just found a link with info on VF turbos too.
