"SMR engines". If you search that, the resultant threads don't make for happy reading.
Of course, it could be a totally different company. But as above, if you get one from A.F., it'll be perfect and correct. Or you could simply get a 2nd hand OEM 16g off here or eBay, and flog on your existing turbo. But it begs the Q.: does this mean you have a TD05H 16g with a front entry? If so, it's odds on it's an aftermarket one, as all OEM ones only ever had the upturned entry. (Unless of course yours is an OEM one... But a previous owner has converted it to front entry...???) :wonder: |

mike, PM'd back.
So to be clear, you're gonna get a used OEM TD05H 16g (that's fine), but want to convert the comp cover from the std upswept, to the later style front entry, type? |

Yep that'll then fit your 53 car.
Or you could angle grind off the snorkel and weld a length of 58mm OD ring of metal back on - creates the same effect. |

It's all about the net amount you pay out at the end of the day.... ;)

Just doing this for a mate at the moment. Its a good way for a bargain turbo, got a td05 for £110 Inc delivery and a front entry cover for £60 delivered. So that's £170 all in! Bit better than £300 for your average vf35 or similar.
I'm sure on eBay you could probably get a td05 for a lot less too if you kept an eye out. No worries about buying fakes if its the oe td05 with upswept inlet from an early wrx. |
