What turbo have I got
 

I have a 2002 sti Prodrive style scoob, always see different turbo models quoted.

Does anyone know what one I should have in my car?

Thanks guys

VF35 i think which is good for about 350bhp

thought it was the 34

If I remember right the Bugeye 2002 WRX had the Mitsubishi TD04L turbo and the Bugeye STi (uk) had the IHI VF 34 :D

Shaun

Are there two different TD04s - the TD04 and the TD04L ?

VF34 uses ball bearing internals, VF35 does not.

mine, same model had a vf35 on it

vf35 on the std STI, the spec c had the vf34 iirc

should get 330 ish bhp

VF35 then..........I'll get me coat !!

Shaun

PS the TD04 and TD04L are the same turbo

Spec C has VF36.

is that on the bugeyes ?

i get my coat :)

MODE: Anorak on

Actually there are 4 different MHI turbo shafts for the TD04 range, each having different sized turbine wheels, the TD04, the TD04L, the TD04H and the TD04HL, I have the size compares somewhere. The TD04L as fitted to many Subaru's has a smaller diameter turbine than say the TD04 fitted to the Volvo 850's which use the HL wheel/shaft.

EDIT: here's the dimensions
Model Inducer exducer
TD04 H 52.0 44.0
TD04 (Standard) 47.2 40.0
TD04 HL 52.0 45.6
TD04 L 46.8 41.2

There are also depth differences.....

Version 7 STI's had a VF30 turbo, i assume the prodrive one has the same as a standard STI, as the only real difference is prodive styling.

AFAIK the only impreza to have a VF34 as standard was a V7 JDM STI Type RA (spec C).

The only difference between the VF30 and VF34 is the VF34 is roller bearing version.

VF35 came on later Version 8 cars, which is basically a VF30 with a smaller exhaust housing, (p15 instead of p18)

VF36 is the twin scroll turbo which i think was only fit to V8 onwards Spec C's, the V7 was single scroll (VF34), or at least the guy i know who has one is a single scroll. :Suspiciou

Just didn't have the table of dimensions in - hey if you want all the TD04 compressor wheel sizes as well.......
