emergency, please help!
hi all
Just thought id take the scoob out for the day after being sat in driveway for a month and bang halfway down the road.
its a 93 import wrx, td05 turbo, z4 ecu runing fine in driveway and around the block.
Let her warm up, all is ok so went for a drive and on acceleration as the turbo spooled up it went bang.
Now the car struggles to idle, sucking air in like no tomorrow and black smoke out the back
please help anyone asap as im worried sick with whats wrong
oh and there is no turbo power (boost) whatsoever
thanks
tim

As red rocket says, check the pipe under the intercooler, sounds like the most likely cause I took my intercooler off a while ago to fit the de cat pipe and have to move the car, ran like a sack of the foul smelling stuff and would barely idle too

Have you checked the pipe, it may be split ? When i put mine back on i had a bit of smoke and then everything was fine. ( No pressure ) not sure.
Check it has not come off again .

red,
checked again, no split that i can find or see mate, but there still smoke out the back, rough idle (not as bad but still rough) and no boost pressure.
looks like the turbo doesnt it guy's?!?
can they seize up? or would the actuator have caused the prob. the bang or loud pop must have been the pipe coming off from pressure built up so i guessing the turbo stopped working.? this sound about right?!?!?
im gutted, grade a subaru said turbo be 300 quid.
