1) stone wedged in brake disc area?

2) cam cover gasket, common problem - do a search

3) I'd double check all the boost solenoid connections and all intake pipes

Problem one is likely to be the backing plate fouling the disk, I had the same problem on one of my earlier Imprezas. A simple adjustment of the plate will alleviate this problem. Problem two I think you have explained yourself. Problem three will be as a result of the split because all your boost is leaking and not going into the engine! Ticking boost solenoid is not terminal so don't worry about that. Hope this helps.
