What are the stats on the VF-39 ?

I can sell 3 of them since I already have a VF-34 awaiting install but I wanted to know how well do those perform compared to eachother ?

P17 exhaust housing, compared to a 34's P18. It throws up comparable numbers though.

You need inj. and fuel pump to get anyhting out of this turbo, otherwise you will just have to run really low boost and it is not worth getting the turbo. It is simlar to the vf34, but not as much top end. You also need to get EM, somehting other than just a boost controler.

Been there, done that! I'm currently running the vf39 in my '02 rex. I also upgraded the fuel pump with a Walbro 255L and the injectors with the jdm STI injectors. My UTECH was tuned by I-Speed. The turbo pulls hard and holds boost all the way to redline in 3rd and 4th with no knock. So far, I'm happy with this set up.
