LuckyBob Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 Yeah... Damage is already done... My personal opinion: call Subaru of America right now and get your case on file. If they drove the car with the oil light on, they will have damaged something. Oil light comes on for even a split second? At least some damage is already done.

masterkilla Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 Are you still under warranty? It sounds like you may have a bad piston ringland, very common on 05/06 LGTs. -mike http://www.pbase.com/paisan/image/91072632.jpg http://www.pbase.com/paisan/image/133406601.jpg AIM: AZP Installs | E-mail: sales@azpinstalls.com | 725 Fairfield Ave | Kenilworth, NJ 07033 | 908.248.AZP1(2971)| T-1 Certified Amsoil Direct Dealer "Race Tested, Enthusiast Approved!" no sir, i'm at 150,000miles sorry forgot to mention..so if its bad ringland etc do you know the costs of fixing?

HAMMER DOWN Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 Have someone do or you do a compression check. This will tell you what going on in side your motor. Start from there. Mike Mileage:331487 Retired/Sold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you need new pistons you are looking at about $3900-4900 all said and done (Pistons, Rings, Cylinder Honing, All New Gaskets, Bearings, Labor, etc). Too bad you are in Cape Cod, we could help you out with it if you were closer. -mike http://www.pbase.com/paisan/image/91072632.jpg http://www.pbase.com/paisan/image/133406601.jpg AIM: AZP Installs | E-mail: sales@azpinstalls.com | 725 Fairfield Ave | Kenilworth, NJ 07033 | 908.248.AZP1(2971)| T-1 Certified Amsoil Direct Dealer "Race Tested, Enthusiast Approved!"

LuckyBob Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 I have no idea! It was just a thought based on it being throttle dependent. A boost leak? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

05COLEGGT Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 Are you sure the dealer replaced your turbo? Sounds to me like they didn't and your previous issues damaged the center cartridge. That sound will get worse and worse till the compressor and turbine blades disintegrate when they start contacting the housing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AZP Installs Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 Boost leak. Most likely they didn't get the IC positioned properly.

Thank you mike, I appreciate the offer and look forward to passing by sometime. I took car to dealer, they test drive it for like half hour and took turns while I waited outside paying on my galaxy tab. They were driving the car up and down the street. Half hour later they fell me"its fixed" it was a "loose hose" and they buttoned it up. Noise went away. Now trying to pull overtime to buy the clutch if indeed is bad. How do I check out?

Glad they fixed it for you! Easy way is to check the clutch by flooring it in 4th gear if it slips then your clutch is probably going, worst case stop by and we'll take it for a test drive and see if it's the clutch. -mike http://www.pbase.com/paisan/image/91072632.jpg http://www.pbase.com/paisan/image/133406601.jpg AIM: AZP Installs | E-mail: sales@azpinstalls.com | 725 Fairfield Ave | Kenilworth, NJ 07033 | 908.248.AZP1(2971)| T-1 Certified Amsoil Direct Dealer "Race Tested, Enthusiast Approved!"

Mike, I'm thinking of going Stage 2+. At over 173k, I did compression check, spec, are 141psi to 171psi, at 350 RPM's with no greater then 7 psi between cylinders. Starter must be getting weak. With Battery fully charged & a charger set on 225A "Start", the motor only turn 286rpm, 1) 145psi, 2)150psi, 3)145psi, 4)147psi. How much will only turning 286 rpm, instead of 350 rpm effect my compression test. Mike Mileage:331487 Retired/Sold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
