It should be a VF28 - which should be immediately identifiable via the IHI Turbo logo on the compressor housing.
If you do have a TD04 on there, one obvious question to ask would whether you really do have an STi, or a UK car with some stickers and random interior changes? What is the "22611...." number on the ECU sticker?

this is what has seriously pissed me off, chassis number ends with 4ED, it aint no uk car.
they were obviously tight ***** who had the car before and when the turbo went they choose the cheeapest piece of crap.

Does the engine number on the top rear of the block match the one on the vehicle ID plate? Might just be that the turbo has been swapped for a wrongun but you need to get a handle on exactly what's right and what's not before you start modifying.

Which Car is a WRX STi
I take it it as folding mirrors, rear wiper and the radio antennae in the nearside rear wing?
VIN Plates and engines can be swapped
