WRX td04 on 05 LGT?

[Tyler]

So what would this take, in terms of hardware?

 

[SUBARUDE]

A lot I would think like everything on top of the motor

Damn! Alright, thanks Gabe!

Or swap the turbo guts in the housings.......maybe......

 

[Meyagi]

it would bolt on if you used a 08 tdo4

I thought it wasn't considered a td04 after 07

I think 08 WRXs and such had the last TD04s Subaru used.

08 used a TD04... 09+ uses VF52. But why go TD04 on an LGT? You can find replacement turbos on the cheap, or rebuild. Swapping to TD04 also would require retunning.

VF52 bolts on

I've done a wrx-fitment turbo swap on my 05. You need the turbo, intake manifold, and intercooler. I had to make an adapter plate for the throttle body because the LGT body wouldn't fit the wrx manifold. Plan on hacking up some pcv and vacuum hoses to make everything fit. The LGT tgv's don't fit the manifold, you need to enlarge the holes in the manifold. It's really not as bad as it sounds, I would do it again.

Thanks for that! Too much work for what I was doing, but good info for someone else in the future!
