February 15, 200521 yr yeah what turbos are a close replacement for the vf7 turbo? as far as bolting it on goes?
February 15, 200521 yr the biggest one that came on the turbo charged t birds. a bit bigger, due to the larger motors they ran. its an ihi you gotta mess with the compressor housing, and wastegate stuff, but its doable. im sure there are several others people know about.
February 15, 200521 yr Author woah boy, so a turbo off of a turbo tbird will bolt right on? hehehe there are 2 turbo t birds in the jy here.
February 15, 200521 yr I have a VF10 on my EA82T but used to have a VF8 and have used a VF24 as well. All these turbos require the manifold flange changed & the compressor housing rotated around 180degrees so the outlet faces upwards. Also need to modify the wastegate actuator mounts because of the compressor housing being rotated. Unfortunately there are no replacement turbos that will bolt straight on...hope this helps. Simon

Nah..the VF-11 (Legacy Turbo) was really easy also. All the stock coolant and oil lines bolted right up. Just needed to change the flanges. Intake needed to be rotated for my application... and the wastegate accutator needed to be modded...nothing incredibly hard though, especially when i did a DIY exhaust manifold in the process

VF11s are quite a bit harder to come by.

February 15, 200521 yr Got a running car to put it on yet? hence me buying it, to replace the broke one and/or puking tons of oil into your intake. ask subaru_styles about the 2 cups of oil he drained out of his intercooler...... garner
