Can I put a turbo on my Subaru Impreza?

Can You Add a Turbo to a Subaru Impreza?
Yes, it is possible to add a turbo to a Subaru Impreza, but there are several factors to consider. The process can be quite complex and expensive, often costing more than the car is worth. It may be more practical to sell the non-turbo car and purchase the equivalent factory-turbocharged model. Additionally, turbo-ing a non-turbo Subaru may void the warranty and devalue the car. It’s important to carefully weigh the costs and benefits before proceeding with this modification.
Considerations for Turbo-ing a Subaru Impreza
– Complexity and Cost: Adding a turbo to a non-turbo Subaru can be significantly more expensive than the value of the car itself.
– Aftermarket Support: The aftermarket for turbo kits and performance upgrades for non-turbo Subarus may be limited, especially for newer models.
– Warranty and Value: Turbo-ing a non-turbo Subaru may void the warranty and potentially devalue the car.
Alternative Options
– Purchasing a Factory-Turbocharged Model: It may be more practical to sell the non-turbo car and purchase the equivalent factory-turbocharged model.
– Performance Upgrades: Consider other performance upgrades such as intake, exhaust, and tuning to improve the car’s performance without adding a turbo.
It’s important to carefully evaluate the costs, potential warranty implications, and aftermarket support before deciding to add a turbo to a non-turbo Subaru Impreza.
