TURBO UPGRADE FOR UK VERSION 2
Hey there people wondering if you could shed a bit of light?? When ive got some spare brass i would like to upgrade the turbo on my96 UK turbo impreza for maybe a roller bearing turbo, or something that spools quick (open to suggestions) but upon doing this mod is there anything else i need to do or is it just a case of unbolt old turbo and replace with new one?
Thankis in advance

edit, just looked your profile yes you already have a tdo5 so leave as is or spend big money.
if your car is the pre facelift then it will already have a tdo5 on it which is a more than capable turbo, if its the later face lifted car then it will have the tdo4 turbo, either way if you change it you to get it remapped to get the most out of it and to make sure its safe.

Hi bud thanks for the prompt response but im sure my motor has a td04 on it, noticed when i was changing the downpipe 
like you say though i read somewhere that mine should have had a td05 on but it is a pre-facelift v2, not too familiar yet with scoobs although ive owned it a while now lol

No idea what a v2 uk car is, they never made any v2 uk cars, for these its just model year (MY) and model (turbo 2000) as it gets confusing otherwise 
So you have an MY96 (phase 1 engine) with a td04 and you want a better spooling turbo? which tbh is hard to do as a td04 spools up like lightening, so either its not mapped for that car (really bad idea, kills engines) or its a td05 still.
Go have a look in the morning on the plate on the turbo, we have to know exactly what has been done with the car or even better, go to a speciallist and they can inspect the car to see how its running/chipped etc
