About the Rotomaster Remanufactured Turbocharger Line
The Rotomaster Remanufactured Turbocharger product line focuses on restoring turbochargers to meet or closely match original equipment performance. Each unit undergoes a thorough remanufacturing process to ensure durability and functionality. This line is intended to provide a cost-effective alternative to new turbochargers while maintaining compliance with emission regulations and performance expectations.
Product Details and Specifications
This remanufactured turbocharger features a journal bearing type, which is common in many Subaru turbo applications for its balance of durability and performance. The turbocharger is cooled by coolant, helping to maintain optimal operating temperatures and reduce wear. The wastegate actuator is included, allowing for accurate boost pressure regulation. Constructed from steel and aluminum, the unit is built to withstand the demands of forced induction systems. Note that mounting brackets and hardware are not included in the package.
Common Applications and Issues Addressed
- Replacement for worn or failed turbochargers on Subaru Legacy and Outback models
- Restores engine power lost due to turbocharger wear or damage
- Addresses issues caused by oil starvation or contamination
- Helps resolve boost pressure inconsistencies related to wastegate actuator failure
- Improves engine efficiency by restoring proper air and fuel delivery
Installation Notes and Maintenance Tips
Before installation, inspect the engine for any underlying issues that may have caused the original turbocharger failure, such as oil starvation or foreign object damage. It is recommended to replace the air filter and clean the entire air and exhaust system to prevent premature wear. Allow the engine to cool before shutting down to protect the turbocharger from heat-related damage. Regular engine oil changes are essential to maintain turbocharger health.

| Troubleshooting Tip | A decrease in engine power may be your first indication your turbocharger is damaged or has failed. |
| Troubleshooting Tip | Any nicks, scratches, or chips on either wheel are evidence foreign object damage caused by contaminants entering the airflow to or from the engine. |
| Troubleshooting Tip | Axial end play of the wheels and shaft in and out greater than the thickness of a sheet of paper indicates a worn thrust bearing due to excessive exhaust backpressure. |
| Troubleshooting Tip | Before a failed turbocharger is replaced the original cause of failure must be diagnosed and corrected to protect the new installation. |
| Troubleshooting Tip | Common signs of wear indicating replacement may be required: |
| Troubleshooting Tip | Worn engines with excessive blow by will result in crankcase pressurization, leading to oil leaking from the turbochargers internal seals. This may result in oil deposits in the intake manifold or smoke in the exhaust. This is not necessarily a sign of a failed turbocharger, but rather a sign that the engine needs to be rebuilt or replaced. |
