opinion, on TURBO KITS ? please
thinking of upgrading turbo and had alot of choices.
people was pointing out the VF-34 turbokit for me, but was wondering is it good enough? i want to be satisfied and stick with it for a long time.
or should you just go BIG?
barely any mods in my car just a down pipe/ cat back system/ and a version 2 AP
can you guys give me some suggestions alrights,
thanks in advance.

Shameless plug for the sale I have going on right now.
But anyways, it all depends on what your goals are and what you intend to do with the car. First off, what year make and model do you drive? Since we live in Hawaii (On Oahu) there's no track, so drag racing is out of the question. As for power wise, it all depends on where you want to be and how you want to get there. I had my wagon Protuned with a VF39 and the usual supporting mods and was very happy with the results. Major increase in power and torque over the stock TD-04. Plus, I still retained almost stock like spool. Of course I coul've gone bigger but I was looking for more midrange punch instead of high end power. If you're looking to Auto-X or mainly Daily Drive your car, I think a VF34 is an excellent choice. You still have the capability of pulling close to 325-350hp, but will retain quick spool up. You could also go with a bigger turbo, but usually that comes at the expense of losing spool time and boost coming on later...........when you've already run out of freeway since we live on a small island....haha.
But yeah, did I mention that I have a brand new VF34 and Sti Pink injectors for sale????

You should really post up how much power you're trying to make or what type of driving you do. It will really help the guys make better suggestions. That Perrin GT30 would be great for high HP or freeway runs up H3, but not if you plan to auto-x or want something that spools around 3500 rpm.

+100
im going with an 18G just because i love the quick spool up and response, if you want big numbers then spool time will be a sacrafice you have to make. ive been told that full boost is at 4k with a gt35 does not feel so bad, but it really depends if you can ajust to that kinda driving and what kind of driving you like to do most.

According to Gruppe-S, you can make 350 with an IHI VF34,
