Not necessarily. For me, and what i need it to do, i do believe a certain 16g is a better option. For most, a VF34 should work best. I don't think very many people have the same goals as me, so YMMV.

I believe I put down 279whp/259wtq when it was dyno tuned.

The TQ# is okay, but your HP# seems around 15-20HP lower than others i've seen.
Not that i'd be complaining, b/c your results are already 35ish more power than i was putting out after a tune.

I was gonna say, a regular TD05-16G puts out pretty much the same as a VF34 (280-300whp avg). Pretty conservative for a Super 16G, which averages over 300whp.

The plus side of Mitsubishi turbos is they're rebuildable. VF series can't be. However, Blouch says they can.
