Question Which Turbo?

I've got a 95 WRX wagon and need a new turbo. I think it's currently a side entry TD04 but not sure, has anyone got any pictures?

If it is I've seen that a front entry can be adapted to fit, is this a good way to go or should I look for a exact replacement?

Cheers,

Gus

An FE TD05 would be a good turbo to upgrade to maybe an 18/20g... Depending on your other mods you could get some decent power gains with it

A standard TD05 16g really is the best turbo for you any bigger and you will need a new gearbox before long.

I would just get an original one that is'nt front entry converted so that it is a straight swap.

Then fit an ESL or Scott.T chip to account for the turbo change.

YOU NEED A CHIP IF YOU ARE CHANGING TURBOS

Cheers for the reply.

I didn't make myself clear, I want to replace it with a TD04 (one that doesn't smoke like a student in Amsterdam )
