SC32 Billet which is a TD04 hybrid, spools very well and will make 300-320bhp and only £550+ vat on an exchange basis.

Yes direct fit for both the hybrid and the VF series turbos, however, one will spool significantly faster than the other

i kinda like a lil bit of lag, makes the turbo surge more enjoyable

VF24 here, I picked mine up for 150 in good nick and holds boost really well.
Basically any VF22,23,24(28 same turbo), 34,35 will do. All will get you well over 300bhp it just comes down to how much over 300 and how early you need the spool up.

im not really looking to go much past 300. maybe 310 most, i dont want to start eating the gearbox. alough it would be nice to have the ability to go for extra bhp in future. would like to boost to be hitting around 3k rpm.

which of the vf series would bring the boost on around the 3 to 3.5k rev range?

Better to pay a little extra and fit a 20g, as this will be good for 400bhp when you get more hunger for power and believe me you will

Go for a TD04 hybrid mate should see you pass 300 and retain the early spool

Vote for VF35, good spool and LOADS of mid range grunt. Very happy with mine.

Would like to see how a SC32 compares with spool etc.

Interesting as that spools faster than my 35, make me want a 34 now

Although it might just be the difference in specs of the legacy.

might be summit to do with that, i'm running autronics management and i've got front mount on as well (so if you believe scoobynet, my turbo would spool at idle if i didn't have the lag from the front mount,,, lol), alot of difference's it could be, but be interesting to see how the boost prfofile compares.
