What is a VF49 and what power is it good for?

71/200

Hatch STI IIRC, around 370/380 possibly more. I think Dynamix has mapped said turbo on a GD car?

I believe the VF49 is a JDM twin scroll turbo, not sure what the bhp/torque capability is as there very little information on them.

I'd be interested to know if it would be a good upgrade for the VF36 on my Spec C.

I think that the VF49 is used by Prodrive in the Hatchback N14 cars that they build.

Have a look at the turbochargers listed on Adgespeed's parts page.

Prodrive's PDF brochure on the N14 Impreza

I could be wrong though...

Perhaps this VF49 might just be worth looking at after all.

The torque is very respectable at around 403 lbs/ft torque plus I believe aren't these class N cars running with restrictors.

I have found out that this is the standard JDM Hatchback STi turbo as used from 2008 on.

Is it capable of more power than a vf36 or vf37

Having spoken to Bob Rawle he thinks it would be a slight backward step from a VF36 and not really any different to a V37 in real terms, looks like it's a Litchfield turbo for me next year.

Any new info about this Turbo ? I have a idea to swap my current turbo with VF49 on my EJ257. Will it work ? Any Ideas ?
