Bought my car a year ago and really never gave the turbo a hard look.

Nope.

You have some kind of an STI turbo on there...more than likely just a VF39 (04-06 STI) or VF43 (07 STI)...but there's a small chance it could be many other JDM options that could have made it on there as well (VF30, VF37, VF22, etc.)

Ok thanks for the info. Looks like ill be heading for a tune within the next month.

 

[Mikie13]

No prob!

What's the rest of the engine bay look like?

You didn't get any info from the seller? Are you running into problems with it?

i have samco turbo inlet, and samco intercooler hoses, a upipe (no name), catback, thats pretty much it, but the big thing is i threw a rod last summer on this same setup and i replaced the shortblock with all oem subaru stuff, so i know i need a tune but i was waiting till i got my DP to do it. The only problem is a uneven idle or high idle when i start it in the morning. If i was running a Vf 39 or vf 43 turbo would i need a better fuel pump? im not sure if im running a stock pump or not i guess i should look. And no info from the seller i bought it through a dealer i know.

If I recall the stock pump was sufficient, but I think the stock injectors are on the small side in a Bugeye.

If they aren't done, I'd at least look for some STI Pinks and replace the fuel pump with a Walbro.
