New Subaru Impreza Turbo – Ref. 49477-04000

A brand-new turbo built for the sporting character of the Impreza WRX GT

The Subaru Impreza WRX GT, with its turbocharged 2.5 EJ255 petrol engine, is engineered for dynamic driving: sharp acceleration, frequent high-rev use, and sometimes demanding conditions on twisty roads or track. This style of driving places considerable strain on the turbocharger, which must withstand significant variations in pressure and temperature with every demand made of it. Over time, these repeated stresses can weaken the bearings, seals, or the wastegate actuator geometry. To restore your Impreza WRX GT to its original responsiveness, this brand-new turbo, compatible with reference 49477-04000, is a reliable solution tailored directly to your vehicle.

Compatibility with the EJ255 engine of the Impreza

This turbo is compatible with the 2.5 WRX GT engine, fitted with the EJ255 petrol engine. Before placing an order, we recommend checking the reference number on your old turbo or on your registration document to confirm exact compatibility with your vehicle, as certain variants of the Impreza may have been fitted with different turbos depending on the version.

Exchange and warranty

This brand-new turbo is sold on an exchange basis: in accordance with our Terms and Conditions, return of your old turbo is required. It is only collected after the new turbo has been delivered and fitted to your Impreza, so your vehicle is never left off the road unnecessarily.

Payment can be spread over several instalments, in up to 10 instalments, to make your purchase more manageable.

Tips for a successful fitment on your WRX GT

Before fitting the turbo, several checks are essential to protect its service life on a performance engine such as the EJ255:

• Check the condition of the oil circuit and replace the oil filter, as lubrication is critical to the longevity of the turbo.
• Verify the cleanliness and integrity of the air hoses and air intake, to prevent any particles from entering the compressor.
• Inspect the intercooler and air filter, which are often put under considerable strain during spirited driving.
• Prime the turbo with oil before the first start-up, to ensure immediate lubrication of the bearings.
• Drive gently during the first few kilometres after replacement, to allow everything to bed in properly.

Paying close attention to oil quality and carrying out regular engine oil changes will go a long way towards protecting this new turbo on your Subaru Impreza WRX GT.
