seen a 97 scooby wrx for sale very cheap really nice example but its a bit smokey, now having owned RS Turbos in the past i know this normally means the turbo oil seal are dead, is it still true cos if it is it may be worth buying and sticking a stage 2 turbo in its place?

what do you think.

Can you be certain its simply the turbo?
Could it be piston rings/bores worn.
Normally if a turbo seal goes, "IT GOES" bigtime and emitts clouds of light blue smoke. Unless the price is right money, it may involve an engine rebuild.

good point forgot about piston rings

well he wants £3900 ono but if it needs a rebuild it definantly is not worth it at that price
