 In today's cop highlight, we introduce you to the F820 DIT Turbo Inlet for the 2015 through 21 Subaru WXs and the 14 through 18 Forester XT. Our favorite modifications are ones that are affordable, easy to install and great looking while resolving some OEM problems, increasing performance and adding a little bit of future proofing. This Turbo Inlet checks all of those boxes. The entire unit is cast aluminum which is one of the most important reasons to upgrade as the OEM piece is all plastic and is very prone to flexing and cracking under stress. Even Subaru stopped using plastic on the new generation because of the consistent problems. All of the inlet and outlet surfaces have been machined for perfect fitment, including the threaded EVAP and PCV connections, plus the bypass valve coupler is a silicone component that's more durable and flexible than the OEM plastic that fails frequently. The most common and practical reason for upgrading to this inlet will be reliability, but we've been able to provide a little more bang for the buck with better performance and features. The internal diameter of the inlet side is 5mm larger than stock with a more smooth and consistent shape through the center and the internal diameter of the outlet where it meets the compressor on the turbo is 2mm larger to match exactly to the opening on the turbo. Plus the groove for the O-ring has a dovetail design that captures the O-ring to keep it in place to ensure a proper seal and make installation easier. We've tested to find a measurable increase in airflow on our flow bench as well as dyno testing that shows improvements in the annoying torque dips that can occur on a stock intake system in the mid to high RPM ranges. Plus, we left enough meat on the bone of the outlet to allow for porting from 50-55mm to fit a slightly larger turbo. As usual, all new high quality hardware is included for installation as well as this custom designed clamp for the 2017 Plus models. It goes around the PCV connector as a reinforcement because that is a very common failure point even under normal driving conditions. And lastly, the F820DIT WRX turbo inlet is carb-approved and works with a stock tune or are prescribed off the shelf tunes if using other cob parts. And of course, you can make great use of the added strength and flow with a custom pro tune when needed. Every VAWX owner will need one of these someday so there's no reason to wait.
