Hi guys

Looking for some info on the turbo on my classic 99 WRX import.

I want to know for definate what the standard turbo should be, after a bit of research I have contrasting results, either its a VF29 or a TD05.

Can anyone tell me for definate what it should be?

Thanks in advance for any help

 

TD05 from what i can find on google...

Someone correct me if im wrong

 

VF29.

TD05 were fitted to early (92-96) wrxs

 

Ok, thanks guys, so it looks like it's a VF29 then which ties in with this

Roojai Subaru Impreza

Where is the best place for a replacement, good secondhand preferably. Anyone have prices that they go for.

 

Any impreza breakers should be able to help.
May be worth posting a wanted add in the wanted section on here.

 

Thanks

I may pop something up at some point, not desperate at the mo just looking for a roundabout figure for what it will cost, or if a good one pops up at a good price I might buy it.

Thanks again

 

i would say if you do buy a 2nd hand turbo or from somewhere online make sure it's from someone that can be recommend on from here ,there are plenty of scallies selling stuff that is crap,knackered or a cheap copy.

 

Absolutley! Thats where the forum comes into it's own, one of the many reasons for joining.

Being careful is very high on the list of priorities

If you see me about to do something , let me know

 

Ironically this forum has had a few problems with scallies

A few sources that may help

ive heard td series are more reliable than the vf series an can buy turbo kits for them so why would they change the turbo on later models to these. is it because the 90 degree bend or spool up time?
