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.

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

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