New Subaru Impreza Turbo – Ref. 49477-04000

A 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-revving and sometimes demanding use on twisting roads or track. This style of driving places considerable strain on the turbocharger, which must cope with significant variations in pressure and temperature every time it is called upon. Over time, these repeated stresses can weaken the bearings, seals or wastegate actuator geometry. To restore your Impreza WRX GT to its original responsiveness, this new turbo, compatible with reference 49477-04000, is a reliable solution tailored directly to your vehicle.

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 turbo longevity.
• Check 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 for the first few kilometres after replacement to allow everything to settle in.

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