Stuinz3 Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 I have a 2009 Subaru WRX. And I believe I have blown the turbo, can anyone confirm this sound is a blown turbo or something else potentially more serious? Please see attached video. https://1drv.ms/f/s!ACxQA9_LJuplgTc Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nictriumph Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 sound like the impeller has dropt in the turbo and fins are just hitting the casing,,,,take of the air intake pipe and feel for play on the impeller spindle....hopefully you may of caught it in time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuinz3 Posted November 22, 2020 Author Share Posted November 22, 2020 So I took the intercooler off last night and no oil in the intercooler manifold pipe. No smoke coming out the exhaust. So I'm guessing the turbo hasn't completely failed yet. What is the fix if the turbo isn't faulty though? Sounds to me like it's on its way to complete failure, and the bearings inside the turbo are shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
