need help identifing a EA81 turbo


Recommended Posts

Can't tell without looking at the hot side wheel. You can definatly tell the difference between an 81 and 82 turbo when they are side by side, the hot side on the EA82's is bigger. But that is definatly one of the two, cold side is too small to be a Legacy turbo.

thanks,

the spec isVF48706,serial is RHB5 19437 A, parts 14412 AA031

I thought all the rhb5 turbine wheels are the same...

I bought this as a NEW turboford IHI and got this used one in the mail from an ebay auction..

If anyone knows of a place that I can get a fax/email from confirming it as a Subaru unit,I would greatly appreciate it as paypal wanted a note from a third person,and I have one from the ford dealer confirming the ford IHI as correct.

the email for me is distall at lycos.com

Take it to a subaru dealership, they will confirm it for you.

 

Unless the fords used the same up pipe/ DP combo though, thats definitely a subaru turbo
