- Hey Guys,
Today i'm going to be showing you how I install a Vf48 turbo into my 2006 Subaru WRX. This VF48 turbo is an OEM subaru turbo that came out of a 2009 WRX STI and had about 60k on it but I sent if off to Hill Country Forced induction and they Rebuilt it, Ported it, installed an upgraded billet wheel and welded my wastegate crack closed. This WRX turbo install is a direct turbo swap with no modifications needed. This was a few weeks ago so it's been tuned for about 3 weeks now and is running amazing. Next video will be the tuning and review of the turbo.
This video is just to show how I install a Wrx turbo and i am not responsible for any damage that is done while attempting this on your own. I have been working on cars for around 15 years so if you don't have enough confidence or experience let a professional do it.

Saving up for this upgrade… I got a silicone turbo inlet and a braided oil feed for easier install
Good stuff! Excited to see the channel grow. Keep it up!
Thanks buddy! I appreciate it!
Might have to do some stuff together bro. Can always use more music
Kyle Hidalgo For sure. I’m always working here so just let me know.
great vid man👍
Thanks brotha! Appreciate it!
Great vid
Keep it up🤘🏼
Thanks bro! I appreciate it!
I like how yours is red! Wow also did you just get it painted?
Did you also drain your coolant?
Thanks! I actually had it rebuilt by a company and they powder coated it for me. Yeah I would drain the coolant so you don't have a huge mess on your hands.
The Vf48 fits right on the ej20?
Yo kyle!! I'm thinking of doing the same on my wrx 2005. Did you need to modify injectors, fuel pump etc to support the turbo? Saw you have a bigger intercooler.
Yeah I had the STi blue injectors which are like around 550cc or something and a walbro 255 fuel pump. Later on when I went flex fuel I upgraded to 1000cc injectors.
Just unplug the vacuum line instead of remove the blow off
Removing the bov give you more room to work with
Hey i hope your still active im currently changing my td04 in my gc8 to a vf48 are and in my opinion the oil feed line doesnt match up at all did your really just bend it or did you also put the oil line of an sti in there
Hey man, I used my same oil line. I did have to bend it a bit but you gotta be really careful, you don't want to kink it or snap it. It definitely works though.
@@KyleHidalgo thanks for the fast reply i will look into it tomorrow maybe there is a diffrenze between your wrx and my gc8 @ th e engine block
@@hahagagi1564 yeah there might be a difference in your oil line but I would figure since it worked with the td04 that it should be a direct swap to the vf48
A tdo4 turbo is for a wrx impreza. But yours is an sti. Why does it have a tdo4 turbo to begin with?
Thats because hes got a wrx
Do you have to drain the coolant and the oil?
Hey man how long did it take you to burp the coolant system?
I did this on my car but it is now overheating. Car was running perfect before running the new turbo
It takes a bit, I always make sure to fill the radiator first, then expansion tank, then overflow, then before you turn the car on you'll want to get a fairly decent size funnel and put it in the expansion tank, wrap a towel around it and run the car until there are no more bubbles. Be care though because the level will rise the hotter it gets, also squeeze the upper radiator hose while doing that. Lastly the car should be level. Let me know if that helps!
Do you think I should get an external fuel pressure regulator?
did you drain the coolant and oil in your car before hand?
It's been a while but I think I just put rags underneath when I disconnected them. I'm pry sure it would be a mess whether you drain it or not since it's so high in the system
I have a 18g turbo what up grade you think would work best for me?
You want to upgrade your turbo or upgrade to go with your turbo? What all do you have done?
How much hp and whp u make????
????
Hp is right around 315 at like 18lbs of boost. just waiting on my flex fuel sensor and Going to get it tuned to flex fuel so that'll go up quite a bit.
So I have a 2006 subaru wrx so all I would need is the vf48 and downpipe or do I need a tune I also have a cobb tuner maybe they have a tune if needed 🤔
I had to get a tune also, they might but I had a custom tune done for mine? I'm pretty sure you can use your stick downpipe too I just had an upgraded one already but you might add well get one while everything is off
@@KyleHidalgo Thank you it was very helpful
I’ve currently got a VF22 on my bugeye but I want to get a vf48 it’ll fit perfectly yeah? I won’t need to do anything else
I'm not positive on the bogeyed. The main thing you need to look for is the bolt pattern on the downpipe side which if you don't know is the big opening with the gasket. Just compare the patterns. If they are different you might need to get a new downpipe
@@KyleHidalgo maybe but my 22’ is the biggest ihi
Do you have any other engine mods? I have a 02 with the vf48 and sti pinks and I just got the new engine in and I’m getting it tuned on a dyno. I’m curious how much power I will make. I want at least 300
Do you have the 2.0 or the 2.5 engine? And what else do you have? Yeah I have a ton now lol I'll have to do a video on it but I have 1000cc injectors, aftermarket fuel rails and lines, walbro 255 fuel pump, flex fuel kit cold air intake, catless downpipe to Invidia n1 exhaust, sti intercooler, grimspeed 3 port boost controller, tial ewg on custom tune. I'm sure there is more lol depending on engine and other supporting mods 300 isnt too hard to hit
I have the 2.0 ej205. I just have the vf48, sti pinks, down pipe, up pipe, full sti exhaust and that’s it for mods but I’m getting a pro tune this week sometime and I’m hoping for 300 lol
You'll have to keep me updated on what you get! I'm guessing probably around 280 - 290 but you never know
Kyle Hidalgo for sure man
@@cameronfoley4534 sorry... what do you mean by "pinks". Not familiar with the terms
Would a blown VF43 off a 2007 STI be able to be replaced with a VF48 with no tuning?
I would imagine you would need a tune because their design and output is slightly different and might throw off your fueling by either making it to rich or two lean and could possibly lead to some major damage. Subies are very sensitive to change so I'd always recommend a tune or adjustment to your tune for everything you do
I found a 08 VF48 for a good deal, will that be a direct swap to an 03 model just like you did here?
Yep should be the same!
Kyle Hidalgo thanks for the reply... only reason why I was asking was because I have a turboXS turboback exhaust and I wanted to reuse it.
Don’t tune it as yet
When installing the new turbo,did you fire the car straight away or do you have to prime the turbo first ? Like cranking the engine for a bit ??
I’m about to change mine for a TD05 20G eBay one
I actually put some oil in my turbo oil feed and drain lines a bit before I installed it so it wouldn't be dry and then I just fired it up
Kyle Hidalgo great stuff dude very helpful,this turbo I bought seems like there’s oil in it already.
For precaution you think i should add a tiny bit so it’s not dry ?
@@Mursounderground yeah u would definitely put a bit of oil in it anyways, it won't hurt anything and it's just extra peace of mind
Great vid. But this dude is so monotone. He gives Ben Stein a run for his money
What you make with it?
Before e85 I think it was somewhere around 320hp and after was about 370hp
A tdo4 turbo is for a wrx impreza. But yours is an sti. Why does it have a tdo4 turbo to begin with?
No mine is a wrx. It just had a sti intercooler but the 06-07 wrx block is the same as an sti but the heads are different, so compression is a little different
@@KyleHidalgo i see. Got it.
