    has anyone heard of this or know anyone that is using it, it's offered by blouch turbo.
    just the compressor upgrade is $325 or with a full rebuild for $599. does it sound worth it, or is a 16g a better investment.

    can't you get a VF39 (STI turbo) for around $300?

    The TD04 upgrade doesnt really seem like the best bang for the buck...unless you are really wanting to keep the TD04

    I think good ones usually run about 600 dollars. I wouldn't use a vf39 I bought for 300 unless it was from someone I knew very well.

    600 is pretty pricey for a vf39.. i know i bought mine from alex for 275.

    I stand corrected, I guess. I suppose I was just talking about what they go for from people who you aren't friends with. I've seen them around 550-600. :dunno

    that is what I thought too, but I just took a look at the FS threads on NASIOC and IWSTI and it seems like $500ish is the norm now

    I guess prices have changed quite a bit over the past few years haha

    either way...I don't think the upgraded TD04 is worth it...

    $500 for a VF39? lol those go for $250-350 every day. $600 can almost get an Evo3 16G.

    I bought my vf39 for $200 from a good friend with somewhere around 20k on it, and another friend port n polished it for me.

    They are out there, just gotta be patient.

    sounds like a ripoff to me. you could buy a brand new vf22 for that price.

    16G for VF39/VF34. I have a VF39 for $300.

    I ran an upgraded td04. It was not worth the money or effort.
