FS: JDM v7 STI vf30 turbo - blown
Testing waters...
Turbo is blown, and will need a rebuild. Exhaust housing in perfect condition without a crack by waste gate. Appears the internal thrust bearings gave out and created some major shaft play which destroyed some of the fins in the compressor housing. Part is removed from my car. Pictures are available upon request for serious inquiries.
Buyer to pay shipping.

Just in case anyone needs more information on this one:
IHI VF30
(460cfm at 18psi, 250-325whp, Bolt-On)
This is the standard equipment turbocharger used on the JDM V7 Subaru Impreza WRX STi (2002-2003 - bug-eye). The VF30 is a thrust-bearing turbo that utilizes the P18 exhaust housing of a VF24 and the compressor housing sized between a VF23 and a VF22. 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. Direct bolt on - no fitment issues at all.
