I hope not, but here goes: in the Haynes book by C Rees it says to listen out for a 'mooing' noise from the turbo as this indicates a DV which is stuck open and today I heard what could be described as this from about 4000 rpm, though it goes/gets hidden by the sound of the engine, at higher revs.

The car is a UK '97 turbo with 80k on the clock.

Thanks in advance

sounds like it ... 97/98 were prone to leaking.

call it an opportunity to upgrade

Yeh, that exactly describes it. Had it with my MY97 just put new standard dump valve in.

Probably plenty

you could try http://www.gradea-subaru.co.uk if you are on a budget

or buy something recirc and shiny

I just bought a shiny Forge Recirc. basically identical to the plastic piece of crap that came off, except its tuneable and sounds a lot nicer. Not loud by any standard but a cleaner flutter noise.

I have a good standard one in my garage if you want. Complete with subaru Box and part no.


P.M if interested.
