Hey guys :) yeah phil I run the vf8, reported to be the king of the vf series by kon himself (high praise indeed)
In all seriousnes though, I ran it at 1bar with no management just a rrfpr and it made 210bhp @the wheels and the power delivery was savage.
I remember right she started boosting about 3.5k which sounds late but because its a bb turbo there is no lag when flat out through the cogs. I would highly recomend phil :)

Had a look there they are journal bearings which are a floating bearing I think, or the vf8 auto turbos were roller bearing
