1996 Subaru Impreza GF8 Turbo Up-Grade

[Steveo]

Hey guys,

I done a bit of a search first on both here, and google. But didn\'t find the information that I was kind of after. My brother just brought a 1996 Subaru Impreza GF8 with only 95,000kms on the clock. It doesn\'t seem overly fast (bearing in mind I\'m used to driving my V8 WRX STI) but doesn\'t appear to be anything wrong with it runs mint. Bout the only infomation I can find is that they down-graded the turbo from a TD05, to a TD04 to make it more responsive.

Is there much involved with changing it to a TD05 again much gain to be had? Or is there a better turbo option for it? It\'s a non-sti version also.

Doesn\'t want to spend huge money and isn\'t chasing massive power or anything, just wants it to get along a bit better.

TD04 would be stock Id say TD05 was on the STi sedan. Just put a TD05 on it and a relief valve for boost control to keep the gate shut longer giving you more down low.

Yeah thats what I was thinking, just wasn\'t to sure. I know any bigger than that and he\'ll be looking bigger TMIC, injectors, tune etc.

td04\'s are just a baby turbo. will go well with td05

Yeah thats what I figured, doing a cambelt / spark plugs / good service this weekend. And will go from there. Found a post of evowrx http://www.clubsub.org.nz/forum/index.php/topic,38218.0.html thats going to come in quite handy.

Cheers for the help guys.

Good to see its served its purpose when someone searched. Keep us updated on how it all plays out.

Not really sure how but my brother got suckered, somehow managed to buy half a TD05 just the inlet compressor side. So I know this is a long shot but does anyone have a exhaust compressor for a TD05 they want to sell?

[Kiwi_Fozze]

lol oh bugger. could this maybe be paired up with the td04 rear housing etc?

[Guest]

Hold up...do you have a pic of what he bought? Compressor is the intake wheel, turbine is the exhaust wheel. Compressor housing - intake, exhaust housing - exhaust side.

[Steveo]

Sorry that wasn\'t a very clear post, it\'s missing the complete exhaust housing.
