Default Definative Answer: What Turbo?

....SHOULD be fitted to my MY97 WRX GC8D48D. It is fitted with a TD04 L as far as I can make out. What is fitted to yours as standard?

Cheers, Jonny.

Assuming it's your saloon in 'VMS', then OEM fitment should be a IHI VF22 turbo fitted (with 440cc injectors)

If wagon, then the smaller VF23 (and 380cc injectors)

Sure it's the STi that has the VF series. I always thought the classic wrx had a TD05??

92-96 wrxs had td05 (along with the early STIs modified from wrxs)
Late 96 onwards vf22 then in the last years vf29

STIs had vf23,vf24 and vf28

The OPs car shouldn't have a td04 as they were JDM wagon and UK saloon/wagon turbos

As mbwrx has said, only pre Sep 96 (upto MY96) JDM saloons had the TD05H... (same vintage JDM wagon had the smaller TD04L instead).

Sorry people, above quote is incorrect - that is indeed for a MY97 STi wagon ... Should have read TD04L front entry, for the MY97 WRX wagon.

lol.

Yes, after all that shenanigans, the OEM fitment should be the IHI VF22 for a MY97 WRX saloon.

Bottom line is that if you want to mod, then your 'wrong' TD04L will only get you to about 280bhp , whereas the VF22 is prob good for upto 350bhp ...
