Long story in my case but basically they replaced the engine under warranty under the previous owner and then I bought the car. When I took it to a rolling road it was about 265bhp and nobody could figure out why... realised the turbo on there was a TD04L and I paid for a VF35 to be put on but couldn't get the VF35.... they had a VF34 so I had that fitted instead. Subaru said that when they replaced the engine they put the same turbo back on.... so my question to Subaru was how the fook did a TD04L get on an STi in the first place??
I can only think of 2 scenarios, the first being that some technician hoped nobody would notice and swapped it.. secondly, they genuinely put a wrong turbo back on... either way, it was under warranty so it was defo a Subaru 'cock up'.
Conclusion, they are either liars or fookwitts...
