STi Turbo type - stock
 

Does anyone know what turbo model I would have in my stock 2006 STi.

VF22 or 24 or something else?

I need to know so as to get the right divorced waste gate type to fit.

Thanks

I think its a VF35 Turbo.

double post, does that mean you're certain it's a VF35?

Theres the vf43 too?

06 Sti vf39 ? And 07 sti vf43 ?

OK so I'm assuming it's one of these two, most likely a VF39...

IHI VF39
(250-325whp, Bolt-On)
This is the standard equipment turbocharger used on the USDM Subaru Impreza WRX STI. It can be found on all model years from 2004-2006. The VF39 utilizes a thrust bearing design and the P18 exhaust housing.
Expect to achieve full boost with the proper mods and a quality tune between 3000-3500rpms. 2002-2005 WRX owners will need fuel upgrades for this turbocharger and proper engine management is highly recommended for all vehicles that utilize this turbo aftermarket. Though they are prone to cracking, VF39’s can be had for very cheap if bought used.


IHI VF43
(250-325whp, Bolt-On)
This is the standard equipment turbocharger used on the MY07 USDM Subaru Impreza WRX STI. It can be found on both base STI's and STI Limited's. The VF43 utilizes a thrust bearing design and the P18 exhaust housing. The primary difference between the VF43 and the VF39 used previously on STI's seems to be the stiffness of the wastegate. The VF43 has a stiffer wastegate designed to reduce boost creep issues.

Check your build date template, usually found on the sill area of the passenger door. This will help you work out exactly what date/model you have and what the differences may be.

Sounds like 2006/07 was an update year for the Wrx/Sti's before the G3's were released.

I rang Subaru and quoted my vin number and they cleared up my query easily.
