Diagnosing the turbo on your Subaru WRX before any replacement
Before replacing the turbocharger on your Subaru WRX, it is essential to confirm that the fault actually lies with this component. A thorough diagnosis starts with checking the boost pressure, visually inspecting the turbine for abnormal axial or radial play, and examining the exhaust smoke (blue for an oil leak, black for excess fuel). A sharp whistling noise under acceleration, a noticeable loss of power at high revs, or an engine warning light with a boost-pressure-related fault code are all characteristic signs of turbo failure on the EJ205 block fitted to the WRX.
Compatibility of the new turbo for Subaru WRX
This new turbo is compatible with reference 49377-04372, dedicated to the 2.0 Turbo petrol engine (EJ205) of the Subaru WRX. This block, force-fed by a fixed-geometry turbocharger, is well regarded for its performance but is sensitive to lubrication quality. Before placing an order, please check the reference marked on your old turbo to ensure perfect compatibility with your vehicle.

Exchange basis and warranty for this Subaru WRX turbo
This turbo is sold on an exchange basis: return of the old turbo is required, in accordance with our Terms and Conditions. It is only collected after the new turbo has been delivered and fitted, so your Subaru WRX is not left off the road unnecessarily. The new turbo is covered by a 12-month parts warranty, subject to fitting being carried out by a professional. Payment can be spread over several instalments, up to 10 instalments.
Fitting advice for your WRX turbo
On the EJ205 engine, premature turbo failure is often caused by insufficient lubrication — whether due to poor-quality oil, missed oil changes, or a clogged air filter allowing contaminants through. Before fitting, check the condition of the oil circuit, the cleanliness of the intake hoses and intercooler, and ensure there are no air leaks. On first start-up, prime the oil circuit by running the engine at idle for a few moments before any load is applied, to ensure the turbine shaft is immediately lubricated.
- Check the oil circuit and its cleanliness
- Inspect the hoses and check for air leaks before fitting
- Prime the turbo with oil before the first start-up
- Regularly inspect the intercooler and air filter
