which turbo?
Hey folks, I've just rejoined the scooby Community after a few years away with buying a 2010 hatch wrx and unfortunately the turbo has blown so I am looking for a direct replacement but struggling to identify which turbo came as standard on the wrx. Any help would be appreciated and if someone has a good one for sale.....
Old ones I had....

Just to add to this
The OEM fit for the MY09/10 WRX is a TD04L (14411AA710) (Legacy style turbo to intercooler bolted fitment)
EDIT:
However the "usual" upgrade route is to a VF52 as used in the WRX-SS model (not the UK's Prodrive upgraded WRXs)

A slight error in my post above, it should have been the WRX-SS model.
WRX/WRX-S 230Ps/320Nm with the TD04L
WRX-SS 265Ps/343Nm with the VF52
Would need mapping to get the best out of the upgrade.

If I went hybrid can it be run as is until I get organised to get a remap?

When i got my re build done by Len at Subaru4u, as best i can remember he would disconnect the turbo boost pipe where the restrictor pea is in the pipe , and put a starboard piece of pipe in , so the car during run in would produce low boost only , so you can you drive it with out the boost building up too much , can you drive it pre re map , in theory off boost but be careful with it until it’s mapped 👍

Len did the same on my rebuild, it ran on what's known as wastegate pressure I think.
I did 1,000 miles of running in my build that way. No issues.
It did throw a CEL from the offset, but was expected and not a problem.
