Power up your Turbo Forester

Since 1999 we have been modifying and tuning “Fozza’s” with all sorts of power upgrade parts and engine management systems. Similar to the WRX & STI models we have had the opportunity to test, gather data and form judgments on what was the best value for money and offered the most sustainable reliability. In 2002 when we first had the opportunity to test the EcuTek engine management systems, our prayers were finally answered on the tuning front, at last something that offered incredible performance, drivability and engine safety using the Subaru factory “Knock Control System”.

MY99-02 GT Forester

Definitely a great package, but a little low on power output with the earlier 2 year models only making 75kw, and the 01-02 models making 90kw on the dyno. Never the less the base package is there and the results from our upgrades are even more justified. As with many of the Subaru models we recommend sticking closely to the extremely well developed “MRT Power Kits”, after all we have played a big part in the R&D for these kits over the years.

MRT Power XA Kit $1990, includes:

• MRT Full S/S Rear Muffler section
• K&N Panel Filter
• EcuTek Type 1 tuned
• All labour

MRT Power XB Kit $4190, includes:

• MRT Full S/S 3” Exhaust system
• MRT Cold Air Intake + K&N Filter
• MRT 500 hp Fuel pump
• EcuTek Type 1.5 tuned
• All labour

MRT Power XC Kit $7690, includes:

• MRT Full S/S 3” Exhaust system
• MRT Cold Air Intake + K&N Filter
• MRT 500 hp Fuel pump
• VF34 Turbo charger
• Hyperflow Billet Top Mount Intercooler
• EcuTek Type 2 tuned
• All labour

As with any MRT Power kit, they can be upgraded from one to another at only the cost difference in the kits!

Note: with the XC kit we offer the VF34 in place of MRT’s VF30, and the Hyperflow Billet Intercooler in place of the larger injectors, as the items have provided better results.

MY03-08 XT

The much anticipated 2.5L engine finally arrived in the Forester for the release of the MY03 model, with an almost identical engine, turbo, ecu package as the MY06 WRX, the “Turbo Fozza” is becoming a true performance car. A test drive is the only way to appreciate all that extra torque, and as you will see in the dyno graphs, the “MRT Power Kits” deliver plenty extra un-tapped power too! DBW (Drive By Wire throttle) is revolutionary for this model too! Also note that as with All “MRT Power Kits” the famed MRT “Factory Warranty Guarantee” is included which even covers your engine!

Note: with MY03-05 models a “Catless Up-pipe” is highly recommended for the XB & XC kits, at a cost of $550 fitted.

Note: with the XC kit we offer the VF34 in place of MRT’s VF30. Also note that the fitment of a Hyperflow Billet Top Mount Intercooler, MRT Cold Air Inlet, Silicone Inlet hose and EcuTek Type 3 tune after the XC kit, will get you real close to that much sought after 200 kw at the wheels.
