Hi I've owned a sport for nearly 4yrs and have moved up to a 02 wrx
After using it daily for 3 weeks with no issues I now have no turbo just got up other morning to find it not spoiling and a lack of top end power any ideas guys and girls have I got a knackered turbo?

 

is there a Engine Management light on ?
also what Dump valve have you got ?

 

White smoke out of the exhaust? Any other symptoms??

Tom.

 

Boost leak?

Any hoses loose etc etc. Keep it simple first.

 

Hi sorry taken a while to reply there are no engine lights on no smoke out the exhaust just has a complete lack of power. I had a smoke test done no obvious leaks engine idles fine starts every time. I have a baileys dump valve�� opens shuts fine. could it be ignition coils? And thanks all for replying appreciate any help and advice given

 

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?
Tom.

 

Well I'm after a turbo in ashford Kent if anyone has a second hand one as usual I'm in a shoestring financially

 

have you confirmed it then ?
Id try another DV if not.

 

It turns out it was cat breaking down and blocking turbo sorted that now gearbox has gone was already on its way out when bought anyone know of any 02 wrx 2aa gear box's up for sale

 

Get a 4aa at least ment to be stronger

 

How much do they go for price wise I've had to take it off the road for few months until I've got back to work cheers
