DeltaNu1142 Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 A friend of mine got his Crosstek new a few months ago, and we met up last night for beers. He said, "Hey, I've been meaning to talk to you about my car. Do you think if I added a turbo I would void my warranty?" Here we go... So, evidently the 2.0L in the Crosstek is essentially the same as what's in the new Fozzy. I don't know, I haven't looked... but I told him if he really wants to put a turbo in his car, he should be looking for a wrecked turbo 2.0L Forester to swap powertrains, rather than adding a turbo, complete exhaust, intercooler, oil & coolant lines/reservoir, ECU, etc... I'm going to check over on http://www.subaruforester.org/ I suppose, but my advice is going to be "don't eff with it." I do like the looks of his car, although I haven't ridden in it yet.

DeltaNu1142 Posted April 9, 2013 Author Share Posted April 9, 2013 I don't think so. All Crossteks are N/A AFAIK. Tits mcgee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmanaenk Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 So, evidently the 2.0L in the Crosstek is essentially the same as what's in the new Fozzy. No. Forester - Turbo FA20. Impreza/XV - N/A FB20. They share very little. That said - I wouldn't mind a turbo-XV either. 666 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BAC5.2 Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 It's pretty easy to turbo a CrossTek. Drive it to the dealer and trade it in for a Forester XT.
