I was looking at my new BPT motor and checking out the Turbo. I thought that the GT-X ran the IHI-VJ-20 and the GT-R ran the IHI VJ-23. I have a IHI-VJ-22 Turbo on my motor.
Does anyone know the differences in the models?

Here's a link to a picture of my Turbo label.

I can't find anything on the VJ-22. I found this info from Peter Manning:

VJ-6 Very early '85 - '86 BFMR Japanese Imports
VJ-12 Early '86 BFMR Japanese Imports
VJ-13 '86 - '87 BFMR Japanese Imports
VJ-14 American BF Model 323GTX
VJ-16 Upgrade turbo available in the US
VJ-17 Group A turbo used in the WRC
VJ-20 BG Model 323 GTX (1800cc) Jap Imports
VJ-23 323 GTR

The VJ-22 is still a GTX motor turbo. It is the same as the VJ-20 except it has a bigger inlet. Hope this helps.

So would the larger inlet make the spool times slower or faster?
Are all IHI RHB5 ballbearing turbo like the RHF6CB on the GTR?
