no no!! None of the imprezas CAME as std with Front entry TD05's..... But there are LOADS of after market ones i.e. Mitsubishi make bolt on TD05's that are unconverted I think.

Andy F does TD05 Front entry Turbos

I've just fitted a front entry converted td05 to a mates bugeye. You can cut the upswept intake off and cut just the end off, then weld it onto the compressor cover to make it front entry.

Yes OP, either do as James has said... Or you can buy a F.E. comp. cover form Andy Forrest.

You can also get 'em off eBay... But I wouldn't, TBH!

They are but i think you will find there supplied with differant covers at least when i had a evo they were as i bought a second hand subaru one and it didnt fit although apart from the cover they were identical,maybe in the add above they supply the same turbo with differant covers already fitted

Yes, the TD0x range are a Mitsy-manufactured tubby.

But they weren't designed for the Mitsys - it's a Subaru-fit item! And a beautiful piece of irony if you ask me.

Although that said, the Lancer Evo does have its own designed TD0x range of turbos too - but obviously with different shaped compressor/exhaust housings to suit that car's plumbing.
