The 2008+ Subaru WRX has a different intake manifold than older Subarus. The new manifold is plastic, and the intercooler is square. (This is the same layout as the 2005+ Legacy GT.) The new manifold and intercooler requires a different turbo; the Blouch 380XT was design to bolt right on.
The 380XT comes with custom WRX/Legacy fitment compressor housing , Blouch billet “XT” compressor wheel, genuine Mitsubishi center housing with genuine Mitsubishi parts, pre-installed coolant pipes and oil drain tube, and turbo mounting gaskets. The turbine side features a Mitsubishi TD05H turbine wheel and shaft assembly.
Note that 2008+ STI models still retain the old aluminum manifold and turbo layout, so this turbo will NOT work with the STI.
Choose from 7cm2 and 8cm2 turbo housing. Optional ceramic coating for the turbine housing is available at modest addtional cost. (Note that ceramic coating may add 1-2 weeks for delivery.)
Fits all 2008-2014 WRX, and 2005-2009 Legacy GT/Outback XT.
Note that all Blouch turbochargers are custom-built to order and may not be returned.
