I think the leak would have to be pre-turbo (re: uppipe, headers) to affect boost like that.

hmmm. Damn, well I am going to take off the intercooler to get the turbo out and I guess I can check for leaks and then make sure I snug it up when I put it back on. Other then that I really out of ideas. Is it possible that the turbo is just bad? It is making 9psi so I figured that the turbo was fine.

I'm guessing post-turbo intake leak because that would explain the propencity for the car to die at idle, and the boost leak. 9psi sounds a little high for the wastegate control to be out (normally if the solenoid's busted or leaking, you get about 7psi), but that too could be an issue. If it was an exhaust leak causing you to lose that much boost, you'd easily be able to hear it. You could always come out to the meet on Thursday and we can poke around under the hood. Make sure you bring a flashlight or two though... it gets dark fucking early! ![]()

About 2 weeks ago it was smoking a little from where the turbo is. I was never able to find where the oil was coming from, but at the most random times it would do it. There was a pancake size spot of oil on my driveway one day. There was never a rhyme or reason why it did that, so I bought an oil treatment from Kragen and poured that in. It was a very safe oil additive because I know some can cause more damage then good. Anyways since I used that, the oil burning stopped. There is a brownish mark on top of the turbo. I dont know if it was there before or not but it looks similar to when you burn sugar, its like a blackish hard spot almost looks like tar.... or oil treatment. I dont know, you guys will have to look at it. It might have come from the oil feed line, i hope thats what it is. |

Also, if you've got a blown turbo, I've got a stock WRX turbo or a SBR GT30-10 I'll sell you cheap. ![]()

The GT30-10 has only 2000 miles on it: http://www.seccs.org/forums/showthre...hlight=gt30-10 Since no one was interested in it, I'd let it go for $500 at this point.

I was looking at getting a new turbo in the future anyways. If the future happens to be now then yes I am interested in at least one of your turbos. How does the SBR GT30-10 compare to the IHI VF30 or the FPGreen in terms of whp and spool?

![]() I don't really know how the VF30 and FPGreen work on a 2.0L motor, but I've got to think that the GT30-10 will spool faster than a Green and make about the same power, but will make less torque... at least that's the experience I had on my 2.5L block.

Well if I were to buy the GT30 from you, what other things would I need? Fuel injectors, pump, bigger intercooler? I will most likely just buy your stock one if its in good condition just because im looking at cost now. And I would rather spend $100 on another stock turbo then spend my time trying to fix the studs on mine which is probably broken as is. Im gonna go take a pic of it right now so you can all see where the burnt oil looking part is.

Turbo, injectors (I've got a set of PE800's I can sell ya), fuel pump, intercooler, and a custom tune would be the minimum IMO.
If you need the stocker, just let me know and I can bring it to a meet, or meet up w/ you some other time. Just let me know!

Here are the pics of the turbo. Im pretty sure the black stuff if the oil additive that I added, I figure thats where oil was coming from and that blocked it up.

I would like to get new intercooler hoses for my 04 rex. Does it matter what brand they are? I know there are cheap ones on ebay and then prices vary depending on the brand.

Well I looked and drove his today all I can say maybe the exhuast might be to large for the 2.0 and its not seal properly on the waste gate side but that exhuast is huge
