N2O,
Not to be **** or anything but have you tried a search? You are opening up a can of worms with this one.
The VF-30 and VF-34 are basically the same turbos with the exception that the VF-34 is a full ball bearing turbo, thus in theory has quicker spool up. It is also about $300 more and some say it does not truly spool up any faster than the VF-30. The VF-35 is a newer IHI turbo but it is actually smaller, has quicker spool up than the previous two but doesn't push as much airflow and thus lower hp.
I've got the VF-23, it suits my needs, quick spool up with very little lag and is very streetable. However there are many many turbos out there all of which can be argued as streetable.
Anyone else want to comment?

The VF34 is the stock STi turbo now - and it can produce the same hp as the VF30. Seems to be pushing around ~270whp "reliably".

I love the pull of the VF30. While you definitely increase the lag over a TXS Stage 2 setup when going to Stage 4 - it's not bad at all. In fact I think that we are all so spoilied by the almost non-existent lag on the fully de-catted WRX that we have become hypersensitive to any sort of spool-time increase.
A fully de-catted TXS Stage 4 will have less lag than a bone stock WRX.
I spoke to Phil at TXS and told him I was thinking of purchasing a VF34 - and he actually told me to stick with the VF30 and save my money. He said the $300 could be better spent elsewhere. He also mentioned that he had a VF34 on his personal car, and pulled it off in favor of a VF30 because he was more confident of the bearing durability in '30.

VF turbo
n2o
i myself hav search a lot of information on turbo expecially on VF, orelse i wont be bother to push or sell their turbo. cos its money wise compared to other.
VF22 or VF23 is the best choice, i ever use a VF24 it spools up FAST and no much top end. after i switch to VF22, wow its unbelieveable especially the pulling effect when it come boost and till high end, jus too bad tat mine car is WRX not sti, orelse i will pull down the Rpm to 8ooorpm.
its a bits lagging jus depend on wat intercooler u use. i use a top mount intercooler, with AVCR its responce to boost also better than manual boost controller or standard boost controller which is in ur car.
if u havent purchase u can email me i can give u more information to choose.
while for VF30 and VF34, its also a good choice. its jus tat its about 300 more than Vf22. jus like IS2Scooby mention. its jus a lastest model turbo wif new spec for new car. with VF24 i beat STI, while VF22 0.7bar(wifout boost standard original boost from turbo) i throw a WRX Ver4wif Link, VF30 2 car behindwith VF22 1bar boost i lose to lancer wif VR4 engine(standard), but wif VF22 1.5bar i cut him like ****.
forget to mention, mine is jus a stock engine Ver4 WRX.
cos my target to fit VF22 if to beat STI-RA wif power FC and TD06, cos he look like **** too proud of his car. jus havnt try yet. tinking of fitting a NOS so can throw him behind more. haha
