rarer model of the VF's but a good turbo for its price, but I think it lacks in the top end department compared to other VF models or the TD05, may be wrong.

Be very very wary of 2nd hand turbos. My opinion is leave money but get a receipt note saying full refund if turbo is found to be not 100%. I had a VF28 for sale which I believe was excellent, did the same as above and the guy came back and said not as good as what he liked after it was checked. Another guy bought it and its still going strong 4 years later.......go figure!

So get it checked out by a turbo specialist but get a TD05, sorry Im a fan of this little sucker, should I say blower....both.

How many sets of lights does it take a $229k Carrera S to learn? 😂 UPDATE: Cayman S, M3, B4 now added to the list.

Vf 35 is an ok turbo.... not ball bearing and probably not as good as the tdo5 for the money.

Purchased my turbo today, i got a VF34 with a P20 housing for $1100. now all i need to do is work out how to fit it. and get a 90 degree intake modded.

I thought that a VF34 would be just a straight bolt on???
