GrimmSpeed Aluminum Turbo Inlet for 2015-2021 Subaru WRX and 2014-2018 Forester XT

If you're a proud owner of a 2015-2021 Subaru WRX or a 2014-2018 Forester XT, you might have experienced the frustrating issue of cracks forming in your OEM plastic turbo inlet. This is a common problem that arises from the wear and tear of the plastic material, especially around the BPV and turbo flange. As these inlets age, they can become brittle and lead to serious engine performance issues. To tackle this concern head-on, GrimmSpeed has developed a robust solution: the Aluminum Turbo Inlet.

Why Upgrade to the GrimmSpeed Aluminum Turbo Inlet?

The GrimmSpeed Aluminum Turbo Inlet is designed to eliminate the weaknesses found in the OEM plastic version. With the new Version 2, there's no need to worry about fitment discrepancies between the 2015-2016 and 2017-2021 models. This kit includes interchangeable threaded fittings, making installation straightforward and hassle-free for both model years.

Key Features

  • A380 Cast Aluminum construction provides exceptional durability, preventing the cracking issues associated with OEM inlets.
  • CNC Machined for precise fitment and optimal sealing surfaces, ensuring you get the best performance.
  • OEM Fitment means an easy installation with no modifications required—just swap it out and go.
  • Seamless airflow is achieved through a CAD-optimized design that eliminates air pockets found in the OEM setup.
  • Each kit includes high-quality Breeze clamps and a Viton O-ring for a reliable seal.
  • No tuning is required, even when paired with the GrimmSpeed DRY-CON Panel Air Filter and Post MAF Hoses for enhanced performance.

Fitment Information

  • Subaru WRX: All USDM models/trims and most international trims (2015-2021)
  • Subaru Forester XT: All USDM models/trims and most international trims (2014-2018)

Important Notes

  • The GrimmSpeed Turbo Inlet is specifically designed to work seamlessly with the GrimmSpeed Electronic Boost Control Solenoid for the 2015-2021 WRX. Be cautious if using it with OEM or other aftermarket BCS, as this may require additional washers or longer bolts for proper mounting.
  • This inlet is NOT compatible with Canadian-spec OEM aluminum inlets that have coolant lines running through them.

Real Feedback from WRX Owners

Many WRX owners have shared their experiences after upgrading to the GrimmSpeed Aluminum Turbo Inlet. One owner mentioned, “I installed this inlet on my 2018 WRX, and the difference was noticeable immediately. No more worrying about cracks, and the airflow feels smoother.” Another noted, “Installation was a breeze, and it fits perfectly with the GrimmSpeed boost control solenoid.”

Upgrade your Subaru's turbo inlet today and enjoy peace of mind knowing you've eliminated a common failure point while enhancing your vehicle's performance.
