Doesn't fit 2005 Forester XT, "Re-manufactured" used very loosely!
Incorrect size oil feed hole for a 2005 Forester XT. Came missing one of the 3 exhaust studs shown in the pictures.
Whole assembly seems to be spray painted as it was flaking off and revealed a rusty exhaust housing like you would see on a used one.
Very gritty/oily substance all over the turbo and in the compressor housings which is obliviously not good for something with extreme tolerances like a turbocharger.
Exhaust studs and oil and coolant line holes had to be chased and cleaned due to them being filled with what appear to be metal shavings.
It seems like the turbo is an OEM turbo housing with a cheap no name CHRA (the rotating assembly) installed with claims it is re manufactured. Not truly re manufactured just slapped back together with a cheap cartridge and spray painted to look "new".
I would HIGHLY recommend avoiding this item and finding a true genuine OEM assembly.
