Urban Survival Syndrome Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 Hey at least it was still spinning. When my turbo went it locked up and it wouldn't even move. Maybe you caught it before it passed on any other problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rakeshsamual1 Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 It could be a few things. I was actually hoping someone else would tackle this sooner. Have you done a compression test? Leakdown test? You couldn't go wrong with a coolant test. You can buy, and sometimes rent, a tester that lets you know if there is any exhaust gasses in your coolant. This can be an indication of a bad headgasket. Has the car ever overheated? Rings could also be a factor. There are a bunch of threads about this, and similar problems, I just don't have the collective knowledge of them. I would run some tests, to rule out possible problems. What oil are you using? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What oil are you using? He couldnt be more correct, in your case it may be the turbo, but bad rings, ringlands etc can cause a constant haze. my amr has less the 1000 miles on it and I know the seals are good. Constant blue cloud, quart every 150 miles, randomly smells of burnt oil really bad. cause cracked ringlands, dont just assume it is the turbo. Detonating once in a 2.5 motor can cause RLF it is a notorious subaru problem. My compression test show only 4 points loss on my two bad cylinders but a leak down test really shows the problem. Just some fuel for thought Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fiveostang Posted March 3, 2013 Author Share Posted March 3, 2013 Well the new turbo seems to have cured my problem the original one was clearly blown if you watch that video in this thread. I haven't seen any smoke I'm no longer burning oil at a ridiculous rate and most importantly NO SMOKE!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
