Had a vf48 on my sti v4 wagon, bought it nearly new with delivery mileage, they came from a load of cars being converted to rally cars over in Ireland,

It made 333 at 1.4bar on my tired old engine with 90k on it with a front mount and a 2.5" exhaust, it wasn't massive bhp but power delivery was very smooth and linear, good spool from 3200rpm

I would recommend one if you can get a decent one, as others have said check waste gate for cracking / leaking(blow by) giving this a bit of a polish is a good idea before fitting.
