Hey guys, I've been recently having white smoking coming from my exhaust and tricking out of my hood scoop (coming form below the turbo) without any pattern to it. Head foreman at Stanley Subaru checked it over without any immediate signs to why it's throwing smoke so my best guess is the seals in the turbo are letting go. I currently have 149,xxx on my rex and the idea of the turbo letting go seems reasonable. He also discovered that my AC compressor is junk so a used or decently priced one of those would be awesome. Genuine Subaru Parts is calling for $512 for a new Compressor and $1,254 for the turbo... Don't have that kind of money. Anywyas the turbo is more important I can get by without the AC, let me know whatcha got! Don't know if I'm in need of a turbo yet just want to keep one eye open for when I get a professional diagnosis and realize my worst fears are realized and my theory about the seals is right. Still let me know if you have a TD04, Thanks.
