I have a vf35
I recently had my car remapped by Bob Rawle. Its a bug sti with full decat exhaust, filter and fuel pump, other than that all other bits are standard sti items. To say im happy with the outcome is an understatement 
- the car drives fantastic and feels responsive on all levels. Bob did a road dyno and i recieved the graph. To my surprise it stated the car is runnnig 350, and it certainly feels very quick 
Now a couple of "friends" have stated that no way would a vf35 make 350 bhp, and that maybe figures have been fudged.
I certainly dont believe that:
a) Bob would do that, and he certainly has an enviable rep.
b) That he would fudge anything ever!!!
They have even hinted that the car is runnnig at its absolute limit and reliability was questioned.
I know they maybe pulling my leg and again ill state that im over the moon with this figure and how the car pulls and pulls and pulls but what do peeps think????
I have the graph but dont know how to put it up.

Bob mapped my classic with a VF35 and it made 340 of each. With a more capable ECU I wouldn't be surprised if 350 was possible.
It sounds like your mates might have a touch of the green eyed syndrome!

Ive got an 03 STi , Walbro pump, K+N pannel filter,Set of PF7 Plugs, Full decat and stainless zorst,Apexi AVC-R 340 bhp on the standard VF35.
Next move is an MD321H or one of those MD555 turbos , well as soon as i can make my mind up , i keep hearing that the MD555 is the same unit as the 321 with a different name ?

Both the MD555 and the 321 range use the same custom exhaust housing , but different spec cores and wheels...
The 555 exhaust end also comes ceramic coated as standard , this may be an option on the 321 ...
Both very good turbos , we are currently testing a new 500bhp bolt on version of the MD555 and will let people have the results when finished...
