I've got a 2005 Legacy GT Limited that I bought new. I love this car, its got 77k on it now. The only problem is that I have gone through 2 turbos under warranty in the last year. The first went at 56k. Dealer replaced it, then at 64k the next one went. I could never get the dealer to come clean on what happened to the 2nd one, but my suspicion is they didn't replace or clean both banjo bolt screens and there may have still been some issues from the first one. I guess I'm looking for help as to any mods that you guys have done to help make it easier to check this. I plan on starting to check it myself, but it sure does seem like a pain to get to.
Also does anyone have a good recommendation for another turbo that may not have this design that would work on my car? I'm a bit worried about Subaru's approach which is" just make sure you change your oil every 3750 miles and you should have no problem. The problem with this is I have changed it every 4k miles since new. I don't think 250 extra miles is going to do this.
I would greatly appreciate any help or ideas.
