The OEM bugeye WRX Turbo was a Mitsubishu TD04L..............Not sure what you mean by Prodrive? Do you mean you have the Prodrive Performance Pack (PPP) fitted.

As an aside is your radio mast in the a-pillar ?

Cheers

If it's an early PPP you might have a daughterboard along with a silicone pipe and some exhaust changes. Not sure if the very early PPP came with a new fuel pump. later PPP's did not use a daughterboard but a reflashed ECU.

The Turbo will still be a TD04 though.

Cheers

I guess you think it's the turbo seals then I'd look out for a good used one on here..........lots are chopped by bug / blob owners for TD05 / VF35 as part of upgrading
