In need of a Turbo

[ZX10R NIN]

I hope you guys can help.

I'm looking for a replacement turbo for a friends 2003 Subaru Legacy I don't mind if it's used as I'll be having a play with the turbo but the housing has to be in good condition.

It's an IHI Turbo

VF38 0312

RHFSH 25409E

1411AA470

So if anyone has one or suggestions on who to contact to get one your help will be appreciated.

I thought I'd give an update, well it seem if you have a 2.0 Auto Subaru Legacy it will have the above turbo which is specific to this car & has a notorious habit of destroying the housing when the bearing on the turbo lets go.

Matty was a great help & advised using the turbo/Manifolds off of an Impreza then make up new intercooler pipes as well as a custom exhaust all for around £1400, if anyone has one I'd suggest taking the turbo off fitting a 360 bearing etc & save yourself the pain my mate is now looking at.

Cheers MDMA I'll pass it onto him.

Could be a while to find an old housing. Then you'd need to rebuild it anyway.

I agree I found a used one but the price $740 is not to be sniffed at.

Well I thought I'd give an update I fitted the chinese turbo to my mates Legacy & I have to say it's been spot on, it came with everything needed & is running well.

Thanks again MDMA my mate is very grateful

As used by Mike Brewer for the Noble on Wheeler Dealers

as also used for Mrs Jazzy Jag's old Mazda 5.

charged about £500 exchange.

I thought he went back to Garrett for the replacement turbos on the Noble?

No, Universal Turbos in Ringwood,
although Brewer does say that he went to the company that did the development work for Noble ( or words the that effect)


I found the episode on YouTube and they got a mention in the credits at the end.

Glad it's up and running again.
