What turbo should i have in my 1997 wrx import? As i have been offered a Td05-16g. Is it worth changing or do i have one all ready

 

Your question makes no sense at all

 

I've got a standard turbo on my car at the moment,so i was wondering if a TD05-16g would be better or worse. Sorry for any confusion.

 

Ok i get you now... Sorry but im unsure what turbo you have as a standard fitment,i'd guess at a TD04.

If so a TD05 will be able to produce more power but will be more laggy.

If you want a TD05 i've got one in the classifieds going cheap

 

There are a number of different turbos fitted to the Impreza range. Ranging from the smallest very responsive Mitsubishi TD04 as fitted to MY 97 onwards UK and Euro cars including pre 96 UK wagons.
Next there is the range of IHI VF series turbos fitted to 97-00 WRX and all STI 97 onwards
Finally the Mitsubishi TD05 as fitted to most pre 97 UK, Euro and WRX saloons

I think you may have a td05 already...... but with a 90 degree inlet instead of the straight entry converted 16g item....

 

uk wagons pre 96 have a td05
