Default Advice needed on what do with my noisey vf35 turbo please
The vf35 on my bug sti recently decided to start screaming on boost so I need to decide what to do with it my options are

1. Get a standard rebuild £110+shipping

2. Get a full rebuild with a billet conversion £280+shipping

3. Replace it with a vf24 that I have been offered by another SES member

Any advice would be appreciated

I'm sure if you put the 24 on, it will need a remap....another cost you need to factor in.

I'm probably just gonna go for the standard rebuild i was planning on getting it mapped next week but after getting it rebuilt I will probably have to wait another month or so to raise the cash are there any huge benifits to be gained by having a billet conversion done I only really wanna reach the 340-350bhp mark as it's my daily driver and the misses is already moaning about how quick it is

Yeah I was just thinking that, I will just have to try and control myself lol what would be my best option full rebuild plus the billet conversion or fit a different turbo I've been told the vf22 is a good strong turbo and it's also capable of up to 25psi
