Turbo Question - VF34
Most of us know that hitachi did the turbos for our FCs. I was wondering if the newer VF series turbos would fit in to the stock location of our HT12 ? Does any body have any thought or information on this


Thanks

No. The stock turbo has a proprietary flange. It's also an HT-18.

Waste of time - the VF34 compressor isn't any bigger than the stock turbo, and (especially) the turbine housing is just too small.
