Should already be a TD05 as standard.. To be sure check the turbo, it'll be stamped on it.

Z4 Saloons should be running a TD05.
I doubt your boost would be stable if running a Z4 and TD04.

I was told my 93 WRX Import saloon should be running a TD05 too, well at least I hope it is!

The id marks are on the front of the turbo (on my mates' it was stamped at the bottom and a bloody nightmare to find I had to remove a few pipes to get a look).

i did have a gaze in the engine bay but could not c a damn thing.i was just wondering as when the scooby fellas changed my box they had to take off the zorst from the turbo and then when we discussed mods he advised on a tdo5!!

That's odd.


i had to remove the Apexi hard pipe (or the equivalent on my mates' car) and had to squeeze a camera down the gap to get a photo of the markings but if you're running a z4 it has to a td05 or equivalent.

mine looks a bit different to yours .mine has a massive filter about 3 times longer an the pipe the filter connects to is longer with more of a u bend protruding over turbo my dump valve is in a different place to

Sorry just used the picture to show what i had to remove to see the ID marking on the turbo

my tdo5 used to kick in about 3000rpm(now 1800-2000 with mods)
always thought tdo4 had quite quick spool up compared to the td05,maybe you could tell what turbo you have buy how to spool's up.
just a thought better too see the stamp though and make sure, but i would be surprised if it would run well with a td04 and a z4 ecu.

hi look on the alloy houseing at the bottom and it will tell you, i got a small wire brush and cleaned it then got a small mirrow and could see it a treat, my95 wrx import is running a z4 ecu / tdo5 turbo and super chip
