    There are b6ts pushing 80 bagillion hp on stock blocks. What I meant is that the most horsepower with bolt-ons and stock turbos I've heard of is around 200 whp. IMO the vj-14 isn't worth that much work, you can get more horsepwer for cheaper by adding more airflow and bigger turbos. If you have a built engine you could make gobs more power with even an 11/t-bird and still have a very responsive car or do something like an 11/8 and have a sick drag powerband.

      yeah over 200 on a vj-14 is pretty uncommon.

        What about hybriding the stock exhaust side to a vj-11 housing and compressor. For us guys who need the spool because drag racing doesnt really mean much. I remeber there being some info on the old site but i thought i would read it when i got the two turbos sitting infront of me.

          That would be an 11/14 hybrid which are really quite common, probably moreso than actual vj-11s on b6ts. Honestly I don't think that the spool is bad at all, it's almost too fast for me as a daily driver, I can't keep t out of boost accelerating with traffic and spools way faster than any aftermarket turbo set-up I've ever driven. Definately not a dog by any means and the extra power is un-****ing-beleivable.

            I believe you cause i can't keep my turbo from spooling, however i am all about keeping the turbo as fast spooling as possible, faster spool does mean faster lap times on a tight course. But on a wider coursei believe the vj11 would be a good choice. Hell i would do it...but ya know.

              It's your car, do what you want but I'm fairly certain that with an exhaust a vj-11 would spool every bit as fast as a completely stock car an even with a stock exahust I still think my car would kick ass on a vj-14 car on everything but a really really tight gymkhana style auto-x. but this is all IMO, do as you will.

                I've been running the VJ-11 for about a year and a half now, I see full boost (running 20psi) by 3500 and I love it. The problem i have is with the stock rev limiter... the motor is still pulling strong and i almost ALWAYS clip the limiter in 1st....

                        over 200whp on a VJ14 on a B6(t)??? id like to see that. i don't think the VJ14 has that flow capacity does it.

                        the vj11 should never run 20 PSI... you should worry about it blowing up @ anything above 15psi

                              Of course it will make more power but IATs will go through the roof and longevity will suffer. Just swap turbos, I didn't pay more than $100 for any of mine, and didn't you say your turbo is blown? If you want more power than that do the 11/t-bird swap, 350 cfm maxes out at 22 psi, or look around at Probe GT forums, they have all sorts of information on how to install bigger turbos.

                                nope i dont have a blown turbo. and i have a vj11 which i paid about $57 from the junk yark off a MX6. Its ported and ready. I just wanna get a 255 fuel pump and mx6 turbo injectors. Im just reading as much as i can on that turbo swap. And i wanna do my front mount and hit the dyno to see my powa gain before i swap my turbo. I also have a T28 which i think needs to get rebuild. Its just a bunch money issues these days.
