Hi got 02 plate wrx with the td04 on it.just got my self a vf35 turbo do i just swop it over or do i need 2 get anything else

 

The VF35 is a much more capable turbo and is not just "plug and play"........you need to improve breathing (panel filter), exhaust (de-cat /sports cat), port the headers if you want, spark plugs (PFR7B) and improve fuelling (walbro pump), boost control (3 -port) , better intercooler (STi TMIC or Harvey FMIC) and then get the whole lot mapped..........around 330 BHP

Definately get yourself a fuel pump and spark plugs. Sports cat or decat is very beneficial to get the most from the setup along with a filter of sorts. £ port solenoid is not essential at this level of tune, though always beneficial. Of course then a complete remap is necessary asap.

GET RID OF THE CATTED UP-PIPE !

Or the rest is a waste of time...

dunx

 

oopppp! sorry dunx. forgot about the up-pipe pre cat..........if that goes then that's the turbo lunched

Shaun

 

Don't apologise to me...

 

soz lads i ment is the turbo a just a swop 4 swop got all of the above mods plus more

 

The Turbo is a direct bolt on yes...

 

cheers mate so the oil feed and water pipes r all the same fit

 

Dont you need a restricter for the oil feed?? or is there smaller holes in the bolts that hold on the oil pipe.

 

If there is one of those small oil filters in the oil line, junk it! these have been known to clog up and cause turbo failures.

 

am i right by saying that my oil feed pipe on my wrx will fit the vf35 turbo

 

Yes it should fit on.

 

The VF35 can suffer from boost creep, worth looking into getting the wastegate ported if it hasn't already been done
