Default What Turbo is on an 02 STi Type UK ?

Seen people mentioning TD04/05 etc but think thats related to the classic impreza's.

Just curious whats the model number/code thats fitted on the 02 STI Type Uk and who is it made by? Garret?

Another newbie question i know but damned if i can find it on the site.

I thought the 02 STI Type UK had a VF30, not a VF34.

I have one for sale

I agree with mark it will be a VF30, i think 03 onwards they changed to VF35. the VF34 came on the bugeye jdm spec c. it will have a stamp on the turbo stating the model number.

VF30, VF34 and VF35's make it sound like the original (if it was VF30) must of have some potential problems???

02's ran a vf 35 or if you were lucky a vf34, the 35 is a sleeve bearing turbo, the 34 a low friction roller bearing turbo.
