Cobb Cast Turbo Inlet - 15-21 Subaru WRX, 14-18 Forester XT

Description:
The COBB Turbo Inlet for the 2015-2021 Subaru WRX is constructed of cast aluminum, a much-needed upgrade over the failure-prone factory piece. The inlet ID has been expanded to 70mm, a 5mm increase compared to stock and the outlet is 2mm larger than stock, matching the factory compressor inlet of 50mm. Features include mounting provisions for either stock or COBB Electronic Boost Control Solenoids, and threaded ports to accept factory-sized PCV and EVAP fittings (included). We replace the brittle factory BPV connection with a more robust reinforced silicone coupler to eliminate a common source of air leaks. A captive o-ring is placed on the turbocharger side for leak-free installation. Flats on either side of the inlet allow for the addition of auxiliary pressure sensors, temperature sensors, etc.

Why:
The factory turbo inlet on the 2015-2021 Subaru WRX is made out of hardened plastic and is prone to failure after years of heat cycling. Cracking in the factory piece or connectors can lead to troublesome air leaks that are difficult to diagnose. The COBB Turbo Inlet is more robust and offers a measurable airflow increase over stock.

Features:
- Cast Aluminum Construction
- Maximizes Airflow to Turbocharger
- Directly Replaces Failure Prone OEM Components
- Port Matched to Compressor Inlet
- Compatible With COBB OTS Maps and Packages

Applications:
2015-2021 WRX
2014-2018 Forester XT

IMPORTANT NOTE FOR 17-21 CANADIAN SPEC WRX MODELS-

Canadian spec WRX models from 2017-2021 came with a cast aluminum turbo inlet from factory. The factory inlet has built in coolant passages and this Cobb inlet does not. While theCobb inlet would bolt up, there will be nowhere to attach the coolant lines. The inlet was designed to replace the brittle factory composite inlet so if your car already has the cast inlet from factory this upgrade is not required.
