Wrong turbo
I think i jumped the gun a little with the wagon plans, i just bought a TD05H from a 96 WRX saloon for my 96 WRX wagon, which has a TD04L. Unfortunately the TD05 is is top and not front entry, the smaller turbo entry runs underneath the inlet manifold. The wagon was 1st registered 96 but is a facelift V3. Is the TD05 useless to me? Thanks

Really? I have access to all cutting/welding facilities etc at work and we have have some very capable fitters and engineers, but is this very specialised?. As much as would love to get it on there asap i dont want to cowboy it. Well, not totally

Well you can always send it to Andy Forrest? I believe he refurbs and converts them? All it is, is a difference in the entry, and I will accept if I'm wrong, but surely it can just be cut to make it front entry. Hopefully someone will come along to confirm.

£50 + £5 postage will get you a front entry housing that clips on to your turbo, assuming the turbo is in decent condition this converts it ready for use on your later model of car.
No need to send me your top entry cover as an exchange, I have loads of them here.
