A comprehensive kit covering the critical exhaust gasket interfaces on the FA20DIT — designed to supply everything needed for a complete exhaust or turbo service in one purchase, rather than sourcing individual gaskets separately. 1.1 lbs.

Confirm the exact contents against GrimmSpeed’s product documentation for your specific service application.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFA20DIT — Boxer Exhaust Architecture\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe FA20DIT is a horizontally-opposed (boxer) turbocharged 4-cylinder. Like all Subaru boxer engines, it has two cylinder banks (left and right), each with its own exhaust manifold. Both manifolds feed into a single centrally-mounted turbocharger. A complete exhaust gasket service on the FA20DIT requires gaskets at each manifold-to-head interface (two positions), the single manifold-to-turbo inlet flange, and the turbo outlet to downpipe. Buying a complete set like the GrimmSpeed 020043 ensures all interfaces are covered in one order — critical when the engine is already disassembled and you don’t want to wait for additional parts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhen to Replace Exhaust Gaskets\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eExhaust gaskets should be replaced any time the relevant flanges are separated during service. Common scenarios on the FA20DIT WRX include: turbo removal or upgrade, exhaust manifold removal, downpipe replacement, or exhaust leak diagnosis (ticking or blowing noise, exhaust smell in engine bay, boost leak symptoms at the turbo inlet). Best practice is to replace all exhaust gaskets in the service area rather than reusing old gaskets after flange separation — old gaskets that have been heat-cycled repeatedly are at elevated risk of failing to re-seal properly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e2015–2021 WRX — VA Chassis FA20DIT Only\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFits the VA-chassis Subaru WRX from 2015 through 2021 with the FA20DIT 2.0L direct-injected turbocharged boxer engine. The 2022+ WRX (VB chassis) uses the FA24DIT 2.4L engine — different displacement, different exhaust configuration, not covered by this set. The 2015–2021 WRX STI uses the EJ257 2.5L engine — entirely different and not covered by this set.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eWRX only — not for EJ257 STI or 2022+ FA24DIT WRX.
