if you have a STi, I don't think you want to replace your VF39 with a VF34.......
on the other hand, TBE is almost a must for performance gain

be a real pimp and sort out a PE1825 setup!

ask Krinkov, he should know more about this...

I opted to leave my car as-is and have it tuned with just a catback and a panelfilter for now, but if I were to do anything it would def. be twin-scroll!

Your best bet is to port and polish your current VF39, I heard that helps with the wastegate issue as well as gives you more power overall. That plus support mods and engine management should give you some great HP/TQ gains.

PE1825 is twin scroll. I suggest this guy get a FP Green with external wastegate and call it a day.

That means he'll have to get a header and uppipe for the twin scroll setup. That's bank.

Yeah but its pimp, plus, since Krinkov had that setup already sorted out, yet eventually opted for a GT30 setup, he might be selling it, plus Gruppe-S has tons of twin-scroll parts laying around.

Its just me, but if I had the bank, I'd love to try a twin-scroll setup, its unique.

I say get something that is easier to bolt on such as a Green or APS sr55...Just my .02 cents. Don't mess around with a 22 or 34...You want real HP gains go big... Or how bout a Deadbolt turbo like a superzilla..
