Just wondering if anyone has had any experience with the VF34 turbos sold by a few Jap based shops on ebay. One shop in Particular is KINUGAWA TURBO. are they genuine parts or some kind of copy.

i've been really tempted to get one. have tinkered with idea of a used VF35, but by time i purchase one for say £300 (with previous mileage), get the waste gate ported by a garage and buy uppipe and down pipe gaskets it comes to about £400. for a hundred or so more i can get a no mileage better spooling turbo with gaskets etc included with no worries about boost creep.

u dont need to worry about boost creep if it is mapped properly.vf34 and vf35 almost identical.

 

heard bad stuff about those ebay turbos,find urself a decent low mileage vf35,think some turbos are good,and some bad from japan,are u willing to risk the money?but if thats the way u want to go,then good luck,hope it b ok!

 

why do you have to get the vf35 wastegate ported ???

 

i understand that they can introduce boost issues even when mapped. not always, but sometimes.
