At what level should a 1996 WRX be boosting to on average? Has had td05 turbo fitted in case this makes much difference. Any response would be great

 

WRX (1995/96) ECU Z4 - 12.71psi, dropping to 11.78psi @ 6600rpm. Fuel-cut 15.65psi.

td05 16g is the standard turbo for your year car.

 

really i got told the TD05 turbo was an upgrade on it.... so the TD05 is the standard turbo then? i thought it had the td04 as standard??

 

Just rang subau and they told me they cant say what turbo I should just able to give a part number that is quite shocking lol

 

If it's a jap import (you did say WRX) then td05 16g is the standard turbo.

Have a look at the front of the turbo housing (you may have to remove a few bits) and it should have some ID marks on it (td05H iirc)

 

thanks for this the turbo is currently out the car as my engine needs replacing due to piston going, so I will check. thank you very much and yes its a jap import wrx, would unleaded fuel melt do the engine in if run under pressure ie a mile sprint from still

 

SUL is the minimum you should use (97ron +) especailly if you want to do a mile sprint from still but even on everyday use 97+ as lots of petrol companies do sell SUL (my preferences are Vpower and Tescos who do 97 and 99ron).
BP ultimate though doesn't seem to advised from a large portion of the Scooby community.

 

im thinking ill be using v shell majority, what is the Asda fuel like as I used to use asda alot

 

As long as it's SUL i can't see any problem (i've never had a problem with Tescos fuel)
