Worth switching from a VF30 to a VF34?
Sup I-club? I was just woundering if anyone here knew the differnce in spool time between these 2 turbo's. I currently have a VF30 and keep going back on fourth on switching to a vf34, but I heard the spool time difference was only about a couple hundred rpm's? And power wise there the same. PE turbos are real nice, but way out of my price range at the moment =(
Jus wanted to see if it was worth the extra hundreds for the switch.

Thanx!
Javier

Nah, it's not worth the time and money to switch. Wait til you can afford to go bigger if you really want improved performance.

uhh.. a turbo isn't exactly a walk in the park..

sure it's simple/easy, but it's tedious as hell.. not something i would want to do if i were just switching from vf30 to a 34.
