Not sure why you would need a rulling on the VF43. From what I can tell it is clearly within the update backdate rules. According to GST, the long block part number from Subaru is identical from 2004-2007. The rules only permit the change in turbos in conjunction with the engine from the same year. Since the engines are the same, the turbo change would be permitted accross the year range.

The blocks may have the same part number, but are the heads identical? Cams? Valves? Timing gear? ...you see where I'm going. In update/backdate rules, you have to swap the *whole* engine along with the turbo... so if there are *any* differences between the '04 and '07 motors you're in trouble (or SM as the case may be).
