no it won't, no STi fitment will work with your car unless you swap intake manifold, inlet, and I/C.
And never buy an eBay turbo spend a few hundred more and get a nice used one on NASIOC or buy something brand new that you won't have to worry about. Most ebay turbos are journal bearing and are just slapped together unbalanced with very poor tolerances. They oil from our cars to cool it and to lube it. Now what happends when the bearings go bad in this unbalanced thrown together turbo? Metal shaving travel through the oil return line down to..... YES your oil pan! And are then the shavings run through your entire engine!

Alright thanks guys!
I always stya clear of ebay, but im so screwed on cash and need this car running.
Ive been on here looking on the classifieds, anywhere else you'd suggest where to find a used turbo?
Thanks Chris!!Thumbs Up! Thumbs Up
That one i will probally get, I have my heart set on getting a 20g but thats way better than nothing especially with my money situation...
I posted on your other page too, but if you're upgrading the intercooler, like getting a PW one you can also upgrade the turbo to an STi setup. It's possible, and really not cost ineffective. The inlet is the same for WRX/STi, and Basco will have to help me as to why the manifold needs to be changed, except that it's plastic vs. metal. The intercooler+y-pipe from an STi should connect to the plastic manifold just fine. It's the little flange on the turbo and intercooler piping that are different. You'll also need to get a different BOV or use a stock one with your setup to use an STi style turbo. It's possible, but you need to be aware of your goals before you pull the trigger. If it's just about getting it up and running cheaply, get a TD04. VF52's go for more than I think they should, as you can get TD06-20G's for around the same price in some cases. Good luck Chris.
Yah, im not sure on the fitments. I have a Perrin TMIC, would that be solid to use a sti turbo with? or the fitment still not correct? Im just wanting to get something with a bit more power and all while im looking for a used turbo.
You'll only be able to run the VF52, or a VF40 or VF46 from an LGT. Not sure how much bigger the VF40 is over the TD04, but the VF52 will be a nice improvement, and those generally go for $450-600 used.
Any luck on the VF52? They were always too expensive even used because of the demand all of us '08 guys put on them wanting to upgrade. New was over $1000, and at that point, you might as well spend a couple hundred more and get something better. I'm looking forward to seeing what you find at a reasonable price. Any turbo upgrade is going to cost you a tune anyway, so if you think the VF52 might not reach your end power goals, I'd go bigger now and save the hassle and money later.
its a turbonetics TO4 it came off a ford lightning making 674 horse power it will fit a wrx precision tuning in lakewood NJ reassured me they were going to put it on. Im trying to get $400 for it only 1500 miles on it brand new wheels are still clean barley any exhuast residue.!Thumbs Uphttp://www.wrxtuners.com/forums/images/smilies/thumbsup.gif
Hey everyone, alot of people have replied, and i havnt been notified that often in email strangely. I just got my tax return and a new job starting next week so ive been looking about everyday but no luck. Ive found a few 20g's and one vf52 but they were out of my price range of what I got to spend now, so I'll probally have to save a paycheck or two before I get my hands on something. Its a rough search for sure.
Yah, I could use any help i can get.lol Ive been searching on NASIOC. But besides that I really cant find any other places for USED turbos. So anything you got, Id appriciate!
Thanks man!!Thumbs Up
