A new turbo built for the sporting drive of the Subaru WRX
The Subaru WRX is a compact sports saloon, typically driven hard — with sharp acceleration, frequent high-revving, and sometimes intensive road use or track days. This style of driving places considerable strain on the turbocharger, which operates repeatedly at high temperatures and pressures. A worn or poorly lubricated turbo quickly makes itself known through a loss of power under acceleration, an unusual whistling noise, or heavier exhaust smoke — warning signs that should never be ignored on this type of turbocharged petrol engine.
Compatibility of the new turbo with the WRX engine
This new turbo is compatible with the VF45 reference and fits the 2.0 Turbo petrol engine with the EJ20 unit in the Subaru WRX. Before placing an order, we recommend checking the reference marked on the old turbo as well as on the vehicle's engine plate, as several turbo variants may have been fitted depending on the WRX version and market.
Exchange and warranty
This turbo is sold on an exchange basis: in accordance with our Terms and Conditions, the old turbo must be returned, but it is only collected after the new turbo has been delivered and fitted, so that the Subaru WRX is not left off the road any longer than necessary. The turbo is covered by a 12-month parts warranty, subject to fitting by a qualified professional. Payment can be spread over up to 10 instalments.
Tips for a successful installation on the WRX
On a performance engine such as the EJ20, the longevity of the new turbo depends directly on the quality of the engine oil and how regularly it is changed, as well as the condition of the air filter and intercooler. Before installation, the oil circuit, lubrication hoses and air intake should be inspected to rule out any contamination from residue left by the old turbo. When starting the engine for the first time, it is essential to prime the new turbo with oil to ensure the bearings are lubricated immediately from the very first start — a particularly important step on an engine used for spirited driving.
