My03 sti has a td04 turbo on it, someone told me it should be a vf35. Is there any difference between the two or is the td04 an upgrade? Or maybe it's been replaced because its cheaper. Or is that the td04 the standard one?
Thanks in advance

 

Mate your car doesnt have a td04 it should be vf34 or vf35

 

Td04 is off a wrx

 

My mate checked it, and the turbo had td04 written on it. I know the turbo has been replaced because I have a receipt for it. I will need to double check when I get the car back from the garage. Which is better?

 

I'm guessing the vf is better then

 

So your car is getting stripped for engine problem not had a remap and got the wrong turbo on it **** sake mate cancel the finance and go to court for your money back for your car you traded in no wonder your engine is fcuked with all the changes and no map and the td04 only goes to 280bhp with a map and supporting mods

 

Just when I thought it couldn't get any worse!

 

I'd double check that your car is,

a) actually a Subaru
And
b) an STi not a Wrx

Seriously though, how long have you had it and the list of issues is looooooooooooong already.

Dude, you've bought a nail, (who evers fault it is), get your friggin' money back before the car sees you into an early grave.

 

Stu this guy has shafted you mate even just with the td04 would make me want my cash back and wheres the engine getting rebuilt because if hes cutting corners with the wrong turbo what do you think he will do with the engine put a wrx one in no doubt

 

Never ever heard of anyone with a STI downgrading their turbo for a WRX one? I would question if it was a STI at all? How many gears does your car have? You got any pictures etc?

 

Do you have the logbook yet mate sounds like your car could be a wrx with sti cosmetic parts put on it

 

It's defo an sti. Done a check on the car and it was all legit. He's taking the engine to some engineering place apparently. I've been told to check the engine number when I get it back. I will also ask him about the turbo because it was him that fitted the new turbo. It has 6 gears

 

Looks like an STI......but adding a wrx turbo? and especially with no remap? Madness.

 

See the Invoice for the td04 how much was it for or is it a used one as he is doing everything on the cheap as said i wouldnt trust the engine build to be done right and it will still need mapping which he wont bother doing

 

It says on the receipt it's a s/h turbo £400
I'm going to get it mapped as soon as I get it back. Will the td04 restrict the power?

 

Td04 is 215bhp-225bhp and you can buy a second hand one for £50 off here or ebay mate with the remap you should see 280bhp

 

You should have VF35 not TD04,i would double check turbo housing,if its IHI VF or Mitsubishi TD

It was my mate that looked and he said it is a td04. I will check it as soon as I get the car back. Should be next weekend

 

id hand it back immediately! this has the making of a horror story m8. prob had its **** kicked already hence needing new turbo and then he puts a td04 on which will not give you sti power? no chance get your cash back before its too late.

 

Mine has the ppp so should be 305 but obv with a smaller turbo I won't be near that? It's my first turbo car, don't have a clue about them

 

Bloody hell which ba$tard sold you this STi matey?

TD04 on STi,is downgrade,please can you take the picture of housing of your turbo,before you are making decision buying something which you don't have.

I'm angry on some people who can try make money with robbing the 1st buyers

On TD04 you should be see at least 270-280bhp after mapping,due this VF35 will be better bet and you should be making 330-350bhp

Please just check you have there fitted too STi pink injectors,because if you have there TD04 i'm really not sure,what can be there wrong

No disrespect but it shows!

Is there a small possibility that it's a hybrid TD04 from someone like Andy F.?

 

I hope so he has a receipt for £400 for a second hand td04 hes doing well keeping calm i would have been at a lawyer by now

 

All I can do is check it when I get the car back

 

My god im tottaly outstanded by the ops thread. A tdo4 on a sti

 

i know the garage and there dodgy *******. as i said on the other forum.

get to trading standards and get it rejected "not fit for purpose" and get your money back,regardless if they have sold your trade in on fight for money back to help you get another one.
hes not going to fix the engine right and your going to have nothing but trouble with it.

really hope you dont let this ***** get away with it stu
