Have you been thinking about souping up your 2022 Subaru WRX? This guide discusses the pros and cons of turbocharger upgrades available for this model. Dubbed the "pocket rocket" when it first emerged on the automotive scene in 1992, the World Rally Experiential (WRX) continues to impress. Find out how you can make your 2022 Subaru WRX go harder and faster with turbocharger components available at JDMuscle.
Why Invest in 2022 Subaru WRX Turbocharger Upgrades?
By installing turbocharger chips and hardware, you can achieve more power and speed for your ride. A turbocharger creates extra air while minimizing backpressure. It gives your engine the gusto needed to pump more air into the combustion chamber. In turn, this amps up the horsepower and converts your sweet 2022 Subaru WRX into a personal pocket rocket. Consisting of a turbine and compressor, a turbocharger elevates your commuter car into a road beast.

Should You Choose Stock or Aftermarket Parts?
The 2022 WRX has a functional twin-scroll turbocharger. That's fine for trips to the market or getting you from point A to point B. If you crave more torque and horsepower, you can upgrade your turbo system with stock or aftermarket parts. Aftermarket parts often offer more modifications and options that allow for greater customization.
Here's a brief comparison of hybrid vs bolt-on vs turbo kits:
Hybrid Turbos
To reduce lag and boost power, consider a hybrid turbocharger consisting of stock and custom parts. You can get a performance boost without sacrificing comfort and functionality. On the pro side, hybrid systems are easy to install on your Subaru WRX and come with fast spool times. On the con side, they don't offer the same benefits as large aftermarket turbos.
Bolt-on Turbos
This style of turbo upgrade replaces the slower stock offering. They require moderate mods to install and are easier to install than complete kits. However, you'll probably have to modify the fuel and intercooler systems and may experience turbo lag, depending on the type of bolt-on you choose.
Turbo Kits
For the most dramatic effect, consider purchasing a turbo kit complete with a new turbocharger, intercooler, and blow-off valve (BOV). You can also find kits with upgraded piping. Select a turbo kit for the greatest power gains and fine-tuning without the limitations of stock parts. On the con side, this is the most expensive turbo boost option.
