Question Manifold blowing STI

Just got myself an STI for a pretty good price but it has a blowing manifold could someone tell me if it's an easy / expensive fix?

He said something about a turbo being fitted and it not joining up or something

Bit at a loss. Thanks for any info!

Far too vague mate.
Could be anything to do with leaking manifold or turbo gasket.

is it blowing from the exhaust manifold or inlet manifold?


both easy to change but with the inlet you can forget which parts where like how the e.g fuel rails etc and the price can vary depending on who does the job..


which garage/mechanic are you using ?


as for the "turbo being fitted and it not joining up or something" do you know what side its not joining from
up-pipe ?
down pipe ?
intercooler ?

edit he said "small air leak from manifold to turbo" does that make any sense?

Cheers for the replies, hmm in that case I really dont have enough info for you guys, pretty sure it's the inlet manifold but not sure. Guess I better get it booked in to a garage. Will be a local garage mate, need somewhere cheap as the cars just cleaned me out lol

thanks again

Sounds like an up pipe leak to me.

Thanks. Any idea of how much it costs to fix and can a non-subaru (local) garage do it?
