Rotomaster M1040264N Turbocharger Cartridge

Turbocharger Cartridge for Subaru and Saab

Rotomaster M1040264N is a new turbocharger cartridge built for direct OE-style replacement in select Subaru and Saab applications. It lets you service the core of the turbo assembly instead of replacing the entire unit, while reusing the original compressor and turbine housings.

This cartridge is assembled with O.E.-grade components and uses a journal bearing design with oil and coolant cooling. It is a practical repair choice for 2002-2008 Subaru Impreza, 2004-2008 Subaru Forester, 2004-2006 Subaru Baja, and 2005-2006 Saab 9-2X applications.

Key Features

• Direct OE replacement turbocharger cartridge
• Journal bearing construction
• Oil and coolant cooled
• Allows reuse of the original compressor and turbine housings
• Eliminates the need to replace the entire turbocharger
• Supplied with O.E.-grade components for durability
• Allows turbocharger replacement without balancing the full assembly

Detailed Product Overview

Rotomaster New Turbocharger Cartridge M1040264N is designed for repairs where the damage is isolated to the cartridge section of the turbocharger. By replacing the core cartridge, technicians can restore turbo function while keeping the existing housings in service. This approach supports faster repair work on Subaru Forester, Subaru Impreza, Subaru Baja, and Saab 9-2X turbo systems.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., N104264C) for the same application.

Common Problems This Part Can Address

• Turbo shaft wear or bearing noise
• Oil leakage inside the turbocharger assembly
• Loss of boost caused by cartridge damage
• Excessive smoke related to turbocharger failure
• Need to service the turbo without replacing the full housing assembly

Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm the vehicle application before installation and inspect the compressor and turbine housings for damage, cracks, or contamination. Clean the oil supply and return passages, and verify that the cooling system and lubrication system are functioning correctly before returning the vehicle to service. Rotomaster M1040264N is a standard-grade replacement cartridge, so proper turbocharger diagnosis is important before installation.

Quality Assurance

Rotomaster assembles this new cartridge with O.E.-grade components to support durability and consistent performance in service. The journal bearing design and oil-and-coolant cooling method follow the requirements of the original turbocharger system for the listed Subaru and Saab applications.
