Using this Blouch 18GXT - R turbocharger is a great way to enhance your Subaru WRX or STI's performance. First, make sure your vehicle is turned off and cooled down before installation. Carefully follow the included instructions to attach the turbo, including connecting the water pipes, oil feed line, and fitting the gaskets properly. When using the vehicle, avoid sudden, extreme changes in speed as it can put unnecessary stress on the turbo. For maintenance, regularly check the oil level and quality. The oil is crucial for the ball bearing system. Also, keep an eye on the exhaust housing for any signs of damage or blockage. If you notice any unusual noises or a drop in performance, it's a good idea to have the turbo inspected by a professional.
