Is a TD05H(16G) a direct bolt on for a 2006 WRX?
Does anyone know a good source for this turbo (preferably brand new one)? Don't fancy getting one off eBay worried about Chinese fakes.

I'm going to put my sensible hat on here and say - leave it as it is. ![Thumb](images/smilies/thumb.gif)
If the engine has done 100k already, any increase in power, however modest, will test the life left inside it.
Plus, I thought the standard TD04 setup with a remap (280bhp) made an awesome machine.
If money was not so much of an object, I'd say go for it. But as you now have a family to look after, I am going to advise leaving the car as it is.
You know it makes sense!

You can have a 40k dog or 100k solid motor
It totally depends on the life it's had , well maintained , thrashed , motorway miles , track miles ,
There are loads of modded high mile cars on here

What/how are you planning on doing the manifold, Tony?
Cut out the centre section and re-weld? Also rotated kit, standard fit turbo, or GT series?

So it just leaves the tb facing the front
No real reason ( just looks neater )
Probably re mount the header tank somewhere new aswell
As for the twisted set up , I'm only gonna be going to an 18g so no real need but if I can I might as well , it saved scrabbling about in tight spaces and might come I'm handy at a later date
Like most of the stuff I mess with or do , it's out of boredom not necessity lol

I'm just spinning the manifold but cutting the icv off the tb then opening the other side of the manifold and welding a mounting plate to bolt the icv on to
So it just leaves the tb facing the front
