Default 2005 Subaru WRX turbocharger replacement question

Hey All,

My turbo is running on spare time as it has 150,000 miles on it. With that being said I am going to replace it before it goes. Since I am going to replace it I am going to go with a 16G Turbo to have a little more fun while daily driver. My question is where is the best place to buy a 16G? Right now I am in touch with tomioka racing. Is this company reputable? Also, I was told that I would not need to tune the car after I swaped out the oem with the 16G. Is this correct?

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks,

Subaru Jackson

Did you ever get an answer to this or get this done? I can't find anything online. My turbo is bad and I just wanna replace it but I don't know where or what to buy, I'd like to stay as stock as possible

You'll get better attention in the turbo powertrain section:

But yes, you will need a tune anytime that you're changing to a different turbo model. If you don't want a tune, you need to replace with the same model stock turbo.
