IWSTI Addict since: Aug 2006 Trader Rating: (15)  | Re: Is the Stock turbo a BB turbo? Yes. But over the years the turbos have changed slightly. I know '06 had vf-39 and 07 have vf-34..Why do you ask? |

IWSTI Addict since: Aug 2006 Trader Rating: (15) | Re: Is the Stock turbo a BB turbo? ^ Thats what I thought too. I only know about the vf-34. Thats why I'm not sure about the other years. I still don't get what the purpose of this is though.. |
