Gc8 turbo help
Hi
Im new to imprezas so i apolagise for my lack of knowledge, the main problem im having at the minute is what parts from which car fit what others.
I have a 94 wrx import thats just been mapped on simtek. problem i have is it needs sorting before it is finished as i think its not boosting properly, im aware this could be a pipe but also could be the turbo.
Most people seem to go for the vf34 but what turbos will bolt straight on, which will fit with a kit? what wont fit? what cars do these come off? are there any better options?
Im having the same problem with other parts and not knowing what i can swap so on, eg can i just put a type r/ra box on it or do i need to swap prop, diff and shafts aswell. so on and so on..
cheers in advance

a td05 is a good strong standard turbo that will take a little stick. the vf34 is a similar powerd turbo but ball bearing desigh so is spools a little earlier. as big d says the vf can be modified to suit top entry intakes with a silicone elbow or similar.
personaly i would go for the td over the vf as the td is a third of the price of a vf and for the same power output
. you may want to look at some larger injectors to if not done already
