Hi, new to this and hopefully someone can point me in the right direction, I own a 09 sti, car been running ppp, couple of month ago car went to garage for a power steering fault, now finally got it back and it's developed a misfire on boost, 1st and 2nd gear not noticable then the rest of gears it holds back and pinks and coughs horribly, but it gets better now, since I just got home it sounds like a turbo pipe has failed, water gurgling around the engine and a horrible rattle sounds like bottom end, any advice on where to start as I have no clue
Thanks paul

 

Oh dear........are you aware of the 2.5's weaknesses?

 

No, but I'm guessing they have a few

That's not good reading, can anyone point in the direction of a descent engine builder

 

Scoobyclinic
Thwaites tdr
Engine tuner
Subaru4you
Rm performance
Roger clark motorsport
Zen performance
fb tuning

a decent 2.5 rebuild with uprated internals is £4.5k upwards but when built correctly is great as a fast road engine.
you may not need a rebuild so get it diagnosed properly

 

Paul Finch, Finch Motorsport.

Just to add to what Shreksta said
