Hey everyone! I'm having issues with my jdm SG5 looking for advice before I bring her in. I parked the car for a month while waiting for brakes from japan. Now I'm driving it again to get to school. Runs and drives fine in city and hwy speeds untill I start climbing hills, I live in the...

Hello, I have an 09 Forester XT. I have determined that I at least want to put 91 octane in my forester, but I am looking to save some money. Has anyone tried octane booster with mid-grade or regular fuel for their Subaru Turbo? Theoretically can I mix half and half of 89 (mid-grade) and...

Hello! Finally got our 2010 2.5XT registered and drove it home :) So far so good but noticed a brief squeak/chirp when the turbo engaged a few times on the highway. Just 1 second then gone. Lots of power. This is my 1st turbo engine so I've no idea if it's something simple, lubricant? Or a...

I just bought a 2017 Forester 2.0XT Touring (47,000 miles) from the dealer and I have noticed it behaving oddly after driving around in the heat (over 95degrees outside). symptoms have been having a hard time holding the idol steady at stops, loss of cold air from AC at stops, and jerky/sluggish...

Looking for a replacement automatic transmission for my 2009 Forester XT, either new, used, or remanufactured. Located in the Bay Area, CA.

A buddy of mine was moving back from Colorado when his 2012 subaru forester xt started acting odd. I work on alot of vehicles but dont do many subies but I'm up for a challenge. Take a look and as I suspected from his description the turbo is absolutely gone. Didnt chew up and eat into motor...

Any help is greatly appreciated! I just changed the turbo on my 04 Subaru XT, the last one blew up, never had any issues before that happened, I reinstalled the new “rebuilt” turbo tonight and now there is a popping sound when under load, it’s not constant just every now and then when I...

Hi All, I’ve been searching the internet and forums for an inkling into what could be wrong with my forester for a while now, and come close, but not as close as I thought. It’s a 2008, (58 plate) Forester Diesel SH. the issue seems to be, as your pulling down the motorway etc, in 3rd gear...

I have a 2010 forester xt. I was driving it home (just after having the radiator replaced) and I get a check engine light and a whining sound. I'm able to make it home without a problem and go out to start it the next day and I'm getting a clanging sound from the engine and now there is white...

Hi all, Looking to swap my stock turbo in my 2010 XT Forester and i was wondering what some good options are? Not looking to spend thousands of dollars just some improved perfromace. Thanks, Lachlan

Just as the title says, I have a 2004 JDM forester xt with about 80k kms on it, I took it to a subaru mechanic and they said the turbo siezed but not why it siezed, should I be afraid to put a new one in, basically is there a common issue that causes the turbo to sieze or would it just be that...

Hey So I drive a JDM 2004 Forester XT with about 80k kms on it, so my turbo recently seized on my car and I have been looking all over the place to find a turbo that will fit, I cannot for the life of me seem to find anything of use regarding what I could just buy and then bring to a shop, I am...

Continuing to look for faults in my overboosting issue, so first thing to check is the turbo solenoid.

I'm sorry to start an argument here, but I'm honestly considering chucking a block off plate on my 06 FXT. But only if it's not gonna kill my turbo. I've read and heard lots of different things but I'd like to just ask myself to a different groups of people with the same car to me. So basically...

OK, I finished my STI conversion with catless up pipe and downpipe, full exhaust, vf39 turbo, walbro fuel pump, 2018 STI intercooler and BPV. However, when I floor it and I get close to redline my engine bucks and I get the check engine light for code P0244, aka overboosting. Found out that I...

so i'm swapping in an ej20 for my ej25 (both turbo if that makes a difference), and i've gotten everything connected and all good. i ran over everything with a sensor and it does not detect the cam sensors. i am using the american cam sensors but they are noticeably shorter than the japanese cam...

Nearly at 180,000 miles and the check engine light came on recently with flashing cruise control light. The error code is P0031. I ordered a replacement sensor which just arrived today. I started removing the plastic guard underneath the car to get to the front O2 sensor, but then noticed quite...
