Maybe because it's made by Mitsubishi?

 

yip but it came from a subaru ,you dont expect turbos on fords to be printed with vauxhall emblems do you , just curious why subaru use mitsy turbos

Thats like saying why do vauxhall and ford use Garrett turbos
Apart from Mitsubishi being a part of FHI as is Subaru its probably down to the fact that they could supply this turbo cheaply for the quantity needed (and that its also very reliable )
Mass marketing for you

If it's a good part why not using it?

 

good answers wonder if any evo owners have subaru emblems on ther turbos love to see there faces as they think there better ,mind you once some scooby owners see ther mitsy emblem they will sulk for a month

No, No, No.
Subaru is a trademark owned by Fuji Heavy Industries (FHI).
FHI is owned by: General Motors, The Mitsubishi Trust and Banking Corporation and Suzuki Motor Corporation among others.
I don't think it has something to do with the supply of the turbo units.

 

turbo for sale if anyone wants it

 

Personally I prefer it from KKK, Garret etc turbochargers as it is reliable and MADE IN JAPAN!
The same for most of other Subaru parts - they are Hitachi made which is very good IMVHO (look at your differentials, clutches etc).
In my last car - Nissan Almera GT - the first and only problem I had was with my windscreen wipers and guess... they were Bosch.
I think our MAF sensors (only the inside sensor) is Bosch made!
Probably is why they tend to fail.
