The VF34 is similar to the VF30 but has improved spool up due to roller bearing design. This is the standard turbo on the New Age Sti RA Spec C, and I am told the euro spec STi7?

There is some confusion over that - most Euro spec STi 7/8's seem to have the VF35 but not all, some have the VF34

Thanks for the replies Peeps.
This is what i was thinking.
Should be straight fit? STI 5 Type R?

It is straight fit on 97-, as any RHF55 design turbo.

FYI, I never saw any STi7 (neither 8) fitted with something else than VF35 in France

Steve, a VF34 would be a good choice. I've not played with one, but from its sisters I have played with it should be very good.
