Why does the turbo on the Subaru Forester XT fail?
On the Subaru Forester fitted with the EJ255 turbocharged petrol engine, turbo failures most commonly stem from insufficient lubrication — caused by poor-quality engine oil, missed oil changes, or a clogged oil filter. The EJ255 boxer unit places considerable demands on its turbocharger during high-rev driving, which accelerates bearing wear whenever the oil has degraded. A blocked air filter or a dirty intercooler can also disrupt boost pressure and speed up wear on internal components. Driving habits such as pushing the engine hard without a proper warm-up, or switching the engine off immediately after sustained high-load use, will also weaken the turbo over time.
Compatibility of the new turbo for the Forester
This new turbo is compatible with reference VF39 and fits the Subaru Forester with the 2.5 XT Turbo engine, equipped with the EJ255 unit. Before placing an order, we recommend checking the exact reference printed on the old turbo or in the vehicle's technical documentation, as certain variants may have been fitted with different turbochargers depending on the production year.
Exchange basis and warranty on this turbo
This new turbo is sold on an exchange basis: return of the old unit is required, in accordance with our Terms and Conditions. The return only takes place after the new turbo has been delivered and fitted, so your vehicle is never left off the road. The turbo comes with a 12-month parts warranty, subject to fitting by a qualified professional.
Fitting advice for the Forester XT
Before fitting the new turbo, check the oil circuit (feed and return hoses) as well as the turbo air intake to avoid any contamination or leaks that could compromise the component's service life. Pre-lubricating the turbo at start-up, before the engine is first put under load, is recommended to ensure immediate bearing lubrication. You can pay for your order in instalments — in up to 10 instalments.
