I spotted a near new vf48 off a MY08 STI being sold
http://www.rexnet.com.au/forum/index.php?/topic/125876-08-sti-parts/i thought all 08 onwards sti's were fitted with vf52
is vf48 bigger and is it a straight fit?????

Don't know if that's me, but the VF48 is not a simple bolt on.
STi has a different intercooler, rather than one that bolts straight to the VF52 turbo flange.

Bah! Just get it Tony. Phat will make it fit somehow. Might need mod your dump pipe though.
