tingtang Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 sweet... ive been looking for comparison pics on the vf40 and vf52... haha... and i JUST came across it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vicmarsal Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 Lol, I hope you guys know the vf52 is on his WRX.... Stg2 09' rex results can be found on Nasioc easily. and I think someone had posted results on a vf52 same mods on a legacy?? I dont remember specifically but 290whp is coming to mind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snow05gtRI Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 testes1010 has a thread in the tuning forum documenting his mods and tunes (tunes himself, does road pulls and has a program to turn it into a dyno plot) and his latest updates were for a vf52 he added after putting on stage 2 parts. the numbers seem a LITTLE high, but he has good fuel (no 10% eth, pure gas) and really knows what he's doing. i think it's on the first page or two so it should be easy to find.

StephenForest114 Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 I would think that the VF-52 has the "dents" on the inside of the housing as well. I also think the housing isnt built that way for physical positioning aka "shoe-horn". (note the physical size of the housing is basically identical to the VF-40). My guess is there is alot of engineering that you aren't seeing behind the design of that housing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

subaru convert Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 I just bought a 2005 LGT with a V52 already installed. No complaints here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 Perfect turbo for the car. Stock fitment and overall feel, just more oophm. Should have come from the factory like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snow05gtRI Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 smiles for miles: priceless. The Grimmspeed TMIC not required, but would help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lakestreet Posted October 19, 2018 Share Posted October 19, 2018 So did it shift the power band more towards the top end? From driving NA cars my whole life it's odd to me that the car, especially the more I tune it makes full power at 3k rpm then seems to trail off.

snow05gtRI Posted October 19, 2018 Share Posted October 19, 2018 That all depends on your turbo. My HTA71 builds HP through redline (see attached). Torque peaks at 3900 but the power keeps going as the RPMs climbHTA71_dyno_20150323.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laughdamon Posted November 11, 2018 Share Posted November 11, 2018 Anyone been running this turbo for 75K+ miles? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
