About This Turbocharger — Subaru Impreza WRX / Forester EJ255 2.5L
Part number 49477-04000 identifies the Mitsubishi TD04L turbocharger used on the 2008 Subaru Impreza WRX and on the Forester XT with the EJ255 2.5L turbocharged boxer engine (the 2009 to 2011 WRX uses the IHI VF52). The EJ255 is the 2.5L successor to the EJ20T found in earlier WRX models — with this turbo it produces 224 horsepower in the 2008 WRX and in the Forester XT. 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
