| Evening
A big thankyou to col at CR Automotive for supplying me the dump valve blanking plate, and for helping with a few problems, top bloke.
Anyway i always thought that my car had a TD series turbo, either 04 or 05,
But i got home and had a quick look under the bonnet and from what i can see i says 'IHI' embossed on the casing and on the serial number it seems or looks like it say "VF 27" ?
What turbo should come standard on a 1999 WRX Import, and i might be wrong but im sure the 27 was used mainly on legacy's, or am i wrong?
Any info would be much appreciated
Regards
James

| Sorry people just looked with magnifying glass and it actually says VF29, would this be the right turbo? | |

| Drew is correct, the early VF compressor wheels can't take the blow through when blanking the dump valve, the turbo that should be on a 99 wrx is a VF22, an sti of the same year should have a VF28 or VF29 fitted. | |

Just doubled checked again, and its defiantly got a VF29, also rechecked the VIN/model number and its definatly a WRX and not an STI of the same year, could it be possibly they changed it over as mine is one of the later models being a 99 or not? - Quote :
