This is a New BuyAutoParts Turbocharger and Installation Accessory Kit (Note: BuyAutoParts New Turbocharger, Gaskets, and Oil Feed Line Kit). SKU number 40-80121 IL

Subaru has issued a technical service bulletin (#02-103-07) for the replacement of the banjo bolt at the cylinder head. This banjo bolt frequently gets clogged, cutting off oil supply and causing the turbocharger to fail. This banjo bolt should be replaced with a new one with every oil change, as well as any time a new turbocharger is being installed. BuyAutoParts includes a new banjo bolt free of charge with the purchase of this turbocharger. This banjo bolt must be replaced at the time of turbocharger install in order to maintain your warranty. Subaru also recommends using a full flush using an engine flush solvent when changing this turbocharger.

This brand new, high quality replacement turbocharger is a guaranteed exact fit replacement for the IHI VF40 turbocharger that originally came installed on your EJ engine from the factory. These were strong engines and the IHI turbochargers used on them are durable, but the factory suggested oil change interval is TOO LONG, leading many owners to create sludgy oil conditions that may eventually damage the turbocharger. Subaru's of this era use a remarkably restrictive oil feeding system that can easily become clogged if not serviced regularly. We suggest changing the engine oil, oil feed line, and cylinder head banjo bolt no less than every 3,000 miles to help avoid these conditions. If you're on this page, it may be too late to save your first turbocharger, but we are glad to help you avoid seeing this situation again. Subaru's are renowned for their reliability and low cost of ownership. Help keep yours as a member of that club with a fresh new turbocharger.

This kit includes a brand new turbocharger, oil feed line, inlet/outlet gaskets and a banjo bolt.
