why the heck have i got a td04 turbo on my sti v5? its the smallest ****test turbo ive ever seen.

what should it be? not that it matters as after my rebuild it be mahossive

 

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.

 

yer first thing i checked. shame as the ihi is a expensive piece of kit

 

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

 

lads its 100% a STi 5 ive done all the checks its got all the above and more. chassis number same as that site too. anyway that aint what i was asking.

 

VF28. Some numpty scrimped and scrapped.

You said it didn't matter anyway as you were fitting a massive, sorry, mahossive one anyway!

But we were only making sure you hadn't been ripped off or scammered.

Sorry for helping.
