Check for oil leaks under and around the drivers side of engine.look through wheel arch.
My 05wrx lost all turbo spool and it was the turbo had given up.
It was passing oil through the seal and down the side of engine.
A 2nd hand td04 for 60 quid sorted it.

Always a good excuse for an upgrade. Anyone think it's worth getting a compression test done?
