Freaking car
Yesterday when I was driving, my car stopped boosting
Checked all the induction pipes, FMIC, boost solenoid etc and they seem fine, took of the induction kit and pipe to the turbo to find the turbo compressor has seized.
Am going to get a new turbo, get it MOT'd and now I'm seriously considering selling it now.
Would conisder swapping it for a crewcab pick up

Sorry to hear about your bad luck mate
Maybe it was one of the belts slipping ??
If it was you could always use one of your stockings as a make shift replacement

I'm getting a lift with Wilf fortunately
Plan now is to take the turbo off tuesday when i finish work, see what the damage is and take it from there.
Ed, you dipstick, I haven't got a supercharger though I do have a spare pair of tights in the car for emergencies

After this, I'm not sure what I'm going to do with the car, apart from sorting the turbo out and MOT it, put the injectors in have it remapped then take it from there.
Thanks BB

If there is no obvious wear between these surfaces, it sounds as though this seizure as come on rather sudden hense why i find cause for concern.. possible blockage in feed pipe maybe?
Bailey do a small turbo oil pre-filter for the cossie of which om sure you could adapt for yours..
Priceless little addition IMO mate

When I rebuilt the engine, I checked the turbo over, and there wasn't any play in the bearings, and no endfloat or any binding, there was no smoke to indicate oil seals, just a sudden loss of boost pressure.
I thought the same thing mate, an oil pipe blockage, hence just buying a rebuild kit.
You're not wrong about the oil filter, I was honestly thinking the same thing earlier this evening, seen loads of kits for Cossies (Cosworth to you Sara)
but none for the Impreza!! a bit of fabrication coming up me thinks.
Thanks for that Frayz
the second opinion, gladly welcome mate
