td04 to 16g

if i was to swap my stock td04 for a 16g would i need a new downpipe and turbo inlet?! I have godspeed catless downpipe and amr turbo inlet with indivia catless uppipe... any help!!!!

 

Not sure what the inlet size is on the two turbos, but downpipe would be fine. You also may need to swap injectors and fuel pump

 

no as long as its a stock location 16g for a wrx or sti it will work fine. You will need a tune
edit: and injectors as drew says and most likely a walbro which one is for sale here somewhere

 

no but you will need a tune

 

thanks!!! yes in the market for a tune,fuel pump,injectors. just have to buy one at a time! a friend has the 16g turbo for $160 so i think i will jump on it! thanks again!!!!

 

What brand of 16g is it? $160 is frighteningly low for a 16g. Use caution.

 

ditto, he had better be a real good friend...

 

i'll find out the brand tomorrow I only have a low res pic of it.. no shaft play

 

could also be a 16g from another car...not all 16gs will fit on a Subaru. Make sure it is the correct flanges, etc.

 

how would i go about comparing the flange if I dont have another one to compare? can i measure it??

 

um - look up what the sizes and bolt patterns are for the subaru pieces and make sure they match patterns on the turbo you're buying?

just do a little research. You'll be happy you did when you inevitably hit snags down the road

 

Im guessing he is talking about this 16g, http://atlanta.craigslist.org/atl/pts/2439107174.html

 

all right so I got it! NO SHAFT PLAY!! aprox. 10,000 miles on it! Its a td05 16g evo111 came off a 2005 sti. The guys car was sold and turbo was taken off for other car but it didn't fit. His loss my gain.

ahhaaa yeah!

 

I had looked at this ad a few days ago. IMO, inspect it yourself before you make the purchase to make sure it's not worn out.

 

The downpipe should have 5 bolt holes and the exhaust housing inlet should have a round hole but the outside of the flange should be shaped like a triangle.

you could always put pics of it up on here and we could tell you whether its in good shape/the right turbo etc. and i guess if its not worthwhile you're only out $160 and not the $800+ they run new

 

there is no shaft play. and I put my other td04 up to the 16g and holes match up perfect. thanks guys! we'll see how she runs possible this week.

new install this week hopefully
v2 + protune
16g
walbro
and new injectors

 

any UPDATES

 

not sure about your Downpipe - if its a bell mouth or DWG than you are good. I did not see an upgraded TMIC on your list of upgrades - that will help if its stock wrx.

Make sure you chk the oil lines
chk the WG function while its out of the car - its easier
