performanceimport Posted April 14, 2023 Report Share Posted April 14, 2023 I'm in need of a stock turbo. My seals below out and am looking for a replacement. I appreciate the help. Talk to you soon. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kev Posted April 14, 2023 Report Share Posted April 14, 2023 They are very easy to rebuild and the rebuild kits are on ebay for cheap. Here is one that will work fine. Look for one like this that has the metal turbo heat shield included, some kits do not: TD05 TD05H 16G 18G 20G Turbo Repair Rebuild Kit for MITSUBISHI Evo, Subaru WRX | eBay If it is the stock turbo, the turbine and compressor wheels were balanced separately, meaning you don't need to balance the rotating assembly like many of the online myths say. But if your turbo was upgraded at some point, then this might not be true. kev Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kev Posted April 14, 2023 Report Share Posted April 14, 2023 Here is a how to guide for the rebuild. This is for a TD04 and not a TD05 but the guts are the same and it follows the same process. I've referred to this exact procedure on at least one of my rebuilds. I have another printed out procedure for a TD05 16g in my garage as well, but I printed it over 20 years ago and wasn't able to find it online this morning. But in some quick searches, I saw a few youtube videos on the topic as well.

GoldStar Posted April 14, 2023 Report Share Posted April 14, 2023 Can confirm they are cheap and easy to replace the seals on. However, if you use the kit that Kev linked above, in my experience this plate will not work; you'll need to re-use the one you currently have: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kev Posted April 14, 2023 Report Share Posted April 14, 2023 oooh, good catch! I missed that this morning, I just went to ebay quick. This one has the correct plate but it doesn't have the heat shield: TD05 TD05H TD06H TD06SL2-11A 12A 12B 14B 14C 17C 19C Turbo Rebuild Repair Kit | eBay I was trying to find the exact one I bought a year or so ago. I didn't put a link in my parts list, it just says 'ebay, $28.50'. Dig around a bit, you should be able to find one that has the shield as well. Or just either clean up and re-use your original plate or the heat shield. The heat shields do degrade though. kev Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ssblast20 Posted April 15, 2023 Report Share Posted April 15, 2023 Good evening, I have a couple good stock turbos in stock, and I also have the vacuum advance if you never found one. If you have any questions, just let me know. Thanks, Steve www.Starquestparts.net Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tux Posted April 15, 2023 Report Share Posted April 15, 2023 I used gpopshop for my rebuild kit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
