TD04 will be spooling from 2k and have full boost by 3k, VF28 spools from 2500 and hits full boost at 3500. The TD04 will run out of power at 5500 rpm whilst the VF28 will take you to the redline. I had a VF28 on my impreza and it was a really good turbo, maybe a TD04 would be better suited to your needs?

The info I’ve been reading on the TD04 series of turbos shows the TD04 having the smallest hot side, the L being slightly larger, and the HL being nearly the size of a VF39. I believe my 06 FXT has a TD04L-13T, so mid-size hot side, and tiny cold side. There was a JDM turbo I read about, TD04HL-15T, came on some 2.0 WRXs.

How much horsepower does a VF22 Turbo have?

With its significantly increased turbine housing, the VF22 turbo is capable of producing upwards of 310 whp* on an EJ20. The downside of this turbo is the older center cartridge design and larger compressor housing, which makes for slower spool up but more top-end than the other VF series turbos.

Which is bigger a HL wheel or a TD04 wheel?

I’m getting zero TD04 data from this forum, but NASIOC has mad threads on that series of turbo. The HL refers to the exhaust side turbine, it is larger than the standard TD04L-13t. No WRX ever came with an HL wheel in the US, this is a rumour that got started. It’s simple. HL refers to the wheel/housing size on the turbine side.
