I've personally read of AT LEAST 5 different cases of people having issues with VF34's. I LOVE that turbo and it's what I planned on going with until recently.
Just because you haven't seen it does not mean it does not exist. Me personaly I prefer no pissing match here. You're correct on your assesment on power and response, I'm correct on my choice because it is in fact my choice. I was just voiceing something I had heard and read about concerning that turbo. simple as that.
me personally...if I come across a vf34 on the cheap when I have the dough I'll get it. Have it cleaned up and roll with it. Great turbo. If not...then I'll get whatever else is available that I feel will meet my needs at given time of me having the funds.
Shoot,right now I'm just waiting for my engine to blow up.

. I was just stating what I've seen. You're correct, just because I haven't seen any VF34's creep, doesn't mean it has never happened or won't happen on your car. That is why I explicitly said that I personally have no seen this happen. I have, however, seen a good number of problems with the 18g and 20g turbos, although the only boost creep issues I've seen with these turbos were on 2.5's. Given what I've seen, I would personally take my chances with a VF34. This is of course your choice
.Thanks

damn strait ed. Don't make me poor a beer on you. Bastage!!!
Me personally..haa. I'm hoping they revamp the VF34 and bring something else out similar...they are discontinued...correct? Great turbo.
Maybe I can talk the dealership into putting a new 2.5 into my car when it blows up..not likely but hell, I'll give it a try.
