Advice on Turbo replacement

[John Brady]

Hello everyone.

I have just joined and I hope someone can help me. 

So I have a 2008 legacy 2.0 diesel saloon. While driving last week I lost all turbo boost. I got home and checked the turbo, its toast, huge play in the shaft, I'm lucky it didn't come apart. 

Oil pick up was jammed with carbon, I'm blessed that I didnt break the crank! 

Anyway, im now looking for a turbo replacement and I have located one locally. The turbo I have found is from a 2011 car and I'm just wondering if anyone knows if this will fit my 2008 car. 

Thanks in advance guys, I appreciate any input. 

Regards, 

John.

Hi the answer is it might - it might not, looks like the cross over year was 2008 - VF50 or VF57.

Can you see what model you have?

Thanks for your reply and information. 

I'll have to have a look and see which one I have. Don't just recall now from memory. 

Appreciate your time.
