Post Help...What Turbo..

I have a UK Spec Imprezza running the standard Turbo...

Does anyone know what turbo these cars come fitted with?

Sam -

First , there is only one Z in impreza -

Second - IIRC, you have a UK 98my ? - If so, its a TD04 Turbo.... In fact, if its a classic, from 97my (inclusive) to 00my, its a TD04 - Earlier cars have the larger TD05 (As standard)

Hope this helps,

Mark

Sam, what car is it - I thought it was a 98, but I'm only going from memory (having never actually seen it.....)

Its stamped on a plate on the front of the turbo...may need to rub away some of the crap to read it though (silver end on turb not rusty end).

I have a TD04 available if you need one.

I am after a TD05....but wanted to check what i had...

Cheem motors say that its uses the same turbo as the Imports...IHI Turbo...

I cant see anything stamped on the top, looks like it may be on the underside.

Only if it's standard. Previous owner could easily have swapped to a vf28 or something.

Better look for yourself.

whilst I agree - check yourself - I did note 'I have a UK Spec Imprezza running the standard Turbo...' was Sam's opening line.....

Cheem saying 'they run...' is a bit worrying too - rather than 'yours runs'....
