Hi, I'm new to the chat and might not know much but I'm looking for a subaru sti TD05 16g or 18g turbo in good condition! If anyone has one laying around please let me know... I'm located in London.

 

thanks in advance! 

Must be a early sti ? They did different fitment for different years 

Yes they did, that's my problem I'm not too good with subaru's. I need it to be a 3 hole bolt on into the manifold that's about all I know :/ from what I've seen its from the earlier models...

Which version is it ?

That's the one I'm looking for just in good condition... But I'd prefer it to be 16g or 18g trying to avoid getting the 20g 

Looks front entry ?? @savage bulldogs ?? Might be top entry 

 

if it is front entry converted why you down grading from a vf28 ?

This turbo will be going on my mx5... Just can't seem to find one and I don't know much more than I've told you...

What turbo is on it at the moment and what year is it , bud ?

I didn't see the mx5 post on there doh .

If it's a stock single scroll turbo it will have the 3 bolt flange on the bottom . The only difference on a stock tdo5 16g subaru turbo is the intake side , some are top entry and some are front entry (like in your pic)

Td04 is direct fit I think for mx5 conversion on the ones I seen 

Have a word with Doug @ G19 engineering , he does the mx5 turbo conversions for a living .

If your just after a tdo5 16g that will physically fit then any front entry oe impreza tdo5 16g will do the job . It's only the aftermarket tdo5's that come in 18 and 20 g

Thought that would blow the socks off a little 1.6 head gasket !! 

My mate had a td04 on a mx5 was pretty funny 

Turbo looks like a lot of carbon build up ! 

Thanks for the help guys, but yeah I want this turbo for the lag and it's a straight fit with my custom manifold, i will be getting just over 300bhp out of the little thing :) 

Interesting cars the mx5 ! Not my cup of tea but good luck ! I'm not a fan of the td05 I'm much more a vf fan ! Think a vf28 would work well on a little 5,
