Turbo charger for Forester X

[googloo]

Hello

Was wondering if there's an aftermarket turbocharger for a 2004
Forester 2.5X that someone would recommend.

Better off selling it and getting either a new or used XT instead.

It's not the turbocharger that makes the performance car.
You can dump a turbo in, it will be a bit faster in straight-line speed, but
it will lose out everywhere else. You want the whole package. And trust me,
the XT is worth it.

Besides which the XT motor block is reinforced for turbocharging. Not sure
the regular motor, good though it is, would be able to take the extra strain
as reliably. The XT block is essentially the same as on the STi, which is
boosted higher, so the XT motor is understressed, as I understand it.
