VF22 is far too small to expect 400 whp. You need something like a GT30 or GT32 for that.

i have the vf22 with all supporting mods and i dynoed 290hp and 280tq to the wheels. 93 pump gas 19psi falling to 15.5 or so because the stock bov was leaking. i since replaced it with a greddy type s and it now holds 18psi no problem. hope this helps

VF 22 Life

VF 22 is a really bad turbo for high boost application because it using a old ball bearing design, it' live under high pressure > 22 psi ~approx 10 000 miles !!!
