VF48 Turbo?
i found a vf48 turbo on craigslist in chicago for $600. It was off an 2008 sti with 1000 miles on it. i have an 2008 wrx, i was wondering if it would be a direct bolt on or would i need a bigger intercooler as well?

k thanks, yeah i have stock exhaust and i don't have an accessport so i don't think im goin to get it. Thanks for the answers, maybe in the future when i have an exhaust and accessport I will look into it.

for sure get a bigger intercooler and accessport with proffesional tuning im not sure what size injectors 08 wrx's come with but it wouldnt hurt to get some bigger injectors 465cc-545cc and a good fuel pump wouldnt hurt either

"This turbo requires a front-mount intercooler to fit 2008 WRX or 2005+ Legacy GT (black plastic intake manifold)."

thanks for the tip, i think I'm gona pass on the deal cuz i have none of the things that i need for it. i wish i had an accessport an exhaust already but whatever. Possibly sometime in the future. I plan on getting a perrin exhaust come spring. Anyone hear anything good or bad about them?

Oh just so you know Subie101 the intercoolers from the 08 Sti's dont fit the 08 WRX's. So if you looking to put one on eventually youll need to get custom with it. (bend the clips) So good luck with everything!

yeah, unfortunately i live in a small town about 45 minutes away from Milwaukee, Wisconsin. i wish i did live in the bay area because it seems like everyone on this site lives near there. yeah I've heard some clips of it on youtube, perrin has some clips.
