TD04 enough boost?

[SNOOZE]

What's good fellas, my buddy recently gave me a TD04 Turbo from a 2006 Subaru WRX for free pretty much, I traded him some jordans for it, so what im wondering is if this turbo is too small for the H22?
Also what's a good set up for these small turbos?
What setups have you guys seen with thid turbo?
Also since its such a small turbo can you run a stock engine with it without having to upgrade engine internals too much?
Will it even make a difference?
Overall just want some feed back on the possibilities with this turbo because its in great shape, no shaft play.....
Thanks fellas also want to apologize for my last thread, I didn't mean to offend anyone or disrespect any one, I hope we can move past that and just be friends.
Thanks!

Read up in the forced induction section. This turbo will be fine depending on how much power you're trying to make. It's not like an H22 is some massive engine. What is the displacement on an 06 wrx?

They come in 2.0L and the boxer 2.5

They were a pair of $300 jordan 4s that's why....super rare

You should not have a problem with the turbo. Tell your friend i have a pair of workboots if he can find me a turbo as well? lol

I could be wrong but -

The Subaru TD04L is a 13T turbo - Its smaller than a 14B.
So it's not really suitable for an F22 or H22.

In Mitsubishi form it came as a 13G on the 4G93T engine which is 1.8L.

Correct... Now if it was the VF39 off the STI that may work out well but since it is the smaller turbo then I would say look for a big 16G turbo man.

So let me get this straight... you got just some random turbo and you had no idea what the specs are...

Why not do some research, set a power goal, and THEN buy the proper parts for your setup?

Sell the turbo, it is far from ideal for an H22

i got you, i already have a big turbo (garret .60 ) but im looking into my possibilities like adding a smaller turbo to make it more dependable.... I like the big turbo and everything but i just dont want to be blowing engines up every couple months you know, the h22 has enough power on the cb7 with all motor, but i still want to keep my boost, but not so much boost that its gonna cost me a bundle and not so much boost that i cant daily drive with it...

true that, the reason why i got this turbo was because i kinda want to boost on a budget I want to boost my H22 without having to change out the internals and waste a shit load of money buying turbo pistons, ect, kinda like a dependable turbo that isnt gonna cost too much and wont make me go through engines cuz im boosting so much, but is still more powerful than just h22 all motor alone.

Ok the boost from a smaller turbo doesnt mean its more reliable when infact they tend to heat way quicker and cause damage to the engine.Yes you get a quicker spool, but you will infact need more boost to make the same power as your current turbo.Bigger turbo usually means less boost and same if not more power.And to boot you might need a custom fabed flange made for the wrx turbo to fit you mani.Just keep what you got it can make more power with less psi than what you traded for.You need to be worried about getting a FMIC set up and a tune.

so you are already boosted? what's wrong with your current turbo?

WORD, im definitely keeping the garret turbo i got, and im definitely looking into some FMIC..... Im either selling this turbo or keeping it for my girlfriends car. She has a hyundai elantra 2.0.....thats another story....lol

there's nothing wrong with it, just the set up is OLDSKOOL! there's no front mount intercooler.... so either way im gonna have to change the set up a bit.... I was just wondering what would happened if i swaped turbos for a smaller one, but that's not happening after the advice im getting...

Garret,borg, etc is not really old skool people will continue to use their products because they work well.As for the way your set up is cooling that needs to be addressed and changed.If all the turbo feed lines etc is good to go all your gonna need is the piping and a FMIC set up.You dont need a $50-100 wrx turbo as its not going to yeld more power or correct any issue, but infact make more problems.
If you look you can probably find a used intercooler and piping for cheap and you might need to change a few things around, but it will be worth it and then get a tune!
