New turbo suggestions for 2007 s-gt

[tjfreestone]

Hey i have a 2007 impreza s gt hatchback , it's a ej20 turbo manual , this week the turbo has packed up. And I'm trying to find out what type it is from factory and where I could but a new one from ? Or if there is a after market one I could get that might be a little bigger but nothing crazy I love how responsive it is atm, I would get it tuned if I go for a different turbo and do the down pipe while I'm there. 

 

Cheers Tj

Diesel and Turbo for a stock equivalent replacement. http://www.dieselandturbo.co.nz/

 

Upgrading is a whole can or worms... you'll need to do a whole lot lot more research and spend a whole lot more money.

@Loren Do they do oddball turbo’s like this car has?
 

@tjfreestone It has the same fitment as  twinscroll BL/BP’s so nothing outside these has the same fitment. The only upgrade option is from Mamba/Kinugawa that do a TD04 with a bigger comp wheel and same fitment besides oil feed and maybe coolant positioning which differs from the stock VF turbo
 

Someone was selling one the other day that may still be available

No idea, but worth a try. I know they can provide VF equivalents that they will stand by.

Cheers sorry for long reply I sorta about posting here, the turbo is now off and it's a vf45. So hard to find information about it, the net says it was on legacys not imprezas so it confuses me haha. I've got a quote for a new vf45 for $2300 which just seems steep but if that's the only option I guess I'll have to do it. And cheers for that fb post, if I can find out that td04 will bolt straight on ill be pretty keen on it

that td04 would need a tune and maybe bent/new oil and coolant lines but other than that it’s a direct swap in.
You might be better off finding a used vf45, they usually go for more like 5-600 so way more reasonable.
 

The key is to find out why the original failed before chucking a different one on, so many people just change the turbo with these cars then complain the new one died after a few hundred/thousand km’s as they never fixed the original problem
