HungHing88 Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 the stock turbo on a 05 LGT turbo, is vf - 40. The vf-52 is for a newer 09 WRX. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scorpiodman Posted August 7, 2009 Author Share Posted August 7, 2009 so will the td04 fit it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qikslvr Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 It will "fit", but it won't connect to the Top Mount Inter-Cooler correctly. IIRC, the plumbing is different. The LGT has a "hard" connection to the TMIC where the pre08-WRX has an STI style TMIC that has coupler hoses right? If you have a front mount intercooler already it would work. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong. Let's kick this pig! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scorpiodman Posted August 7, 2009 Author Share Posted August 7, 2009 is there any way that the pipe can swap for a diff one that it can fit or its a lost deal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scoobydoobie Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 TD04 is smaller than a VF40. It is essentially a downgrade. Why would you want to do this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scorpiodman Posted August 7, 2009 Author Share Posted August 7, 2009 i know i cant afford a replacement right know i just going to replace it so it can still drive and buy a bigger or i just find someone can rebuild it . its just a replacement for a while Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qikslvr Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 Your best bet would be to find a used vf40 or some other turbo from a LGT or 08+ WRX. It's not just a pipe that would need to be changed. Pop your hood, take off the engine cover and look on the passenger side where the turbo connects to the TMIC and you should be able to see what I'm talking about. Our TMIC bolts directly to the turbo. The other turbos have a round outlet that would point towards the drivers side(top pic) instead of pointing up like the LGT specific turbo(bottom pic). The main issues is that there isn't enough room to work with for the conversion. http://www.boostplanet.com/images/zilla20_2.JPG http://www.boostplanet.com/images/vf40.JPG Let's kick this pig!

scorpiodman Posted August 10, 2009 Author Share Posted August 10, 2009 u know where i can get a used vf40 or where i can rebuild mines Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peteyjr Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 I'm in the process of possibly getting another turbo myself. Blouch tech told me today they don't rebuild VF -40's IHI does not make a rebuilt kit for it . There is a company that makes rebuild parts for it but its not quality parts (not good enough for Blouch). Try the clasifieds for a used Vf 40 but they don't come around too often anymore. I'm looking at the VF-52 or FP 68 HTa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
