About This Turbocharger — Subaru Impreza WRX / Forester EJ255 2.5L
Part number 49477-04000 identifies the IHI turbocharger used on the Subaru Impreza WRX and Forester with the EJ255 2.5L turbocharged boxer engine from 2008 through 2011. The EJ255 is the 2.5L successor to the EJ20T found in earlier WRX models — it produces 265 horsepower in the WRX and 230 horsepower in the Forester XT application. The 49477-04000 turbo is smaller than the STI-spec VF48 and is tuned specifically for the WRX and Forester power targets, with a wastegate actuator calibrated for these applications.
When the WRX or Forester turbo fails — through bearing wear, seal failure, or compressor wheel damage — symptoms include oil in the intercooler piping, boost code check engine lights, and loss of the characteristic WRX power band in the mid-RPM range.
What Causes EJ255 Turbo Failures
- Oil starvation on track or aggressive driving — the EJ255 has oil surge susceptibility at high lateral G
- Extended oil change intervals — Subaru recommends shorter intervals for turbocharged engines
- Cracked intake boot — allows unfiltered air to erode the compressor wheel
- Rear main seal or head gasket oil leaks reducing oil level without obvious symptoms
