Project: AWD TURBO Family Hauler (04 Forester 2.5XT)

[JustinG]

So.........

It seems my unknown mileage (unsure how far over 80k it is) $150 turbo is on its way out.

Not sure if it was the turbos fault, or if the stupid ass mesh screen that Subaru decided to put in the oil feedline is gunked up and starved my td04 and this one as well. My own damn fault if it is the latter, it is a known issue, and I didn't check it cause I am lazy and wanted my car back up and running ASAP.

So if anyone knows of a VF39 for sale with low mileage lemme know. May revert to rebuilding my td04 and going back to stage 2.

This has gotten very discouraging.....I love this car, can't think of anything to replace it at the moment, but I hate working on cars now....

I may put it up for sale after being fixed and if the price is right, let her go. Unless one of you clowns wants to buy it and throw on a turbo for $500ish.
