If your interested I've been tossing around the idea of selling my vf34 ceramic coated hot side. Under 15k and no shaft play. Had plans with it but Plans had change since then. But i dont think it will get you those numbers if your targeting 400+whp.
Yes Waruta. Still on the Foz.

Back on topic, if Walter does decide to sell the vf 34 turbo, that may be a great turbo to "stage" your learning of the car. I always liked trying to add one thing at a time and learning/relearning how the car handles. You might even end up liking it more d/t a smaller turbo=less lag. I agree with the previous posts about doing suspension and brakes. Please also consider brake bias as well and don't just throw stuff on cuz it looks pretty. I'm no guru but I'll chat if you want to talk about engine and suspension mods on Friday.

Oh and bump for you. Someone sell him a turbo.
(don't forget the supporting mods ie injectors,fuel pump, maybe a top mount)

if you still have those when you do upgrade your turbo expect to be sideways. for stock turbo and very slight spirited driving those will be fine but accelerating out of a turn will get nothing but wheel spin. i would suggest you make friends with someone who has a decently setup car with good tires and go for a ride. maybe go out to auto-x and see if you can join in on a fun run. you'd be shocked at what a good set of tires can do. also if you don't have at least a rsb you should look into that as well.

little advise, vf39 is nice, fun, easy, and cheap...at first. then about a month later you're going to want more. 16g-xt or 18g otherwise you'll be replacing the vf in under a year.

Nope, your trans would blow on your before you hit that. I only did 276/263 on a vf39 with all supporting mods and with an up pipe and EWG.
