Blimey you couldn't of looked very hard

"The IHI VF-34 Turbo is found on the limited production Subaru v7 WRX STI-RA (GDB). This turbo is differentiated from the VF30 through it's more advanced bearing design. The bearing design allows for much quicker turbo spool-up (depending on tuning, 300-500 RPMs over the VF30), while retaining the power capabilities of the VF30. The VF34 is capable of 350 HP (~300 whp) This turbo is a direct bolt-on for all GC8, GDA, GDB EJ20 turbo engines. This is an excellent replacement turbo for those looking for substantial power gains while maintaining street ability. "

I'd be wary of those figures though it was taken for a US site and American horses seem to be a bit smaller the those found on our shores

If you google IHI vf34 you should find loads of info.

i have just found another vf43 on ebay- see link. bid starts at £100 which seems good if you say £400 was a fair price for the other one.
