what is a vf series turbo?

 

vf 34, vf39, vf22. real big in the subie community

 

I have no idea. Are there certain properties that make this popular with the Subies? Any reason why it wouldn't work the same with a 240?

 

The reason they are popular on the Subies is cause they came as stock turbos on the JDM STi's so they are bolt in turbo. As far as getting them to work on a 240 sure you could, with custom piping and such. The VF30&VF34 are teh same turbo save for the bearing design. The 30 being roller bearing and the 34 ball bearing, both can support about 270-285awhp. The VF22 is slightly bigger than the 30&34 and is ball bearing and can support 300-310awhp.

what type of flange is it?

 

Its a unique subaru flangs thats a 3 bolt pattern. I'm trying to find a picture of one but most of them is just of the compressor.
