Using this turbocharger is straightforward. First, make sure your Subaru model (2002 - 2007 WRX, 2004 - 2021 STI, or 2005 - 2007 Forester XT) is turned off and cooled down. Then, install all the components from the kit carefully following the standard installation procedures for your vehicle. When starting the engine after installation, listen for any unusual noises. During normal use, keep an eye on the turbo's performance. If you notice a drop in power or strange sounds, it could be a sign of an issue. For maintenance, change the oil regularly as recommended by your vehicle's manual. This will keep the turbo bearings in good condition. Also, check the gaskets and pipes periodically for any signs of wear or leaks. If you find any problems, replace the parts promptly to ensure the turbocharger continues to work efficiently.
