Forced Performance 2015+ Subaru WRX Blue BB Turbo LOPE 58mm Black Housing Internal MVI WG (D/S Only)

Forced Performance is well-known for building robust turbochargers, and this Blue BB LOPE turbocharger is a prime example of their work for the 2015 and newer Subaru WRX. This unit features a 58mm compressor wheel and a ball-bearing center cartridge, which helps it spool up faster and respond more eagerly than many stock turbos. The LOPE designation indicates a specific aerodynamic design for the compressor housing, aimed at improving airflow and performance.

The black housing on this turbo isn't just for looks; it's a durable finish designed to withstand the heat and harsh environment of the engine bay. Inside, you'll find a blue-colored ball-bearing assembly, which is a key feature for improved durability and quicker spool. This turbo also includes an internal Wastegate Actuator (MVI WG) with a dual-scroll (D/S) design, meaning it's set up to work with the factory exhaust manifold's dual-port setup for optimal boost control and efficiency. This setup is designed to bolt on to the factory exhaust manifold and downpipe locations, simplifying installation.

When considering a turbo upgrade like this, it's important to note that it's not CARB approved and cannot be shipped to California. You'll also want to ensure your vehicle's supporting systems, such as fuel delivery and engine tuning, are up to the task of handling the increased airflow and power potential this turbo offers. Proper tuning is essential for maximizing performance and ensuring the longevity of the engine and turbocharger.
