    Hey guys, I just picked up an 05 Legacy GT Ltd about a week ago which pretty much went right back to the dealer right away. It was spitting out a pretty large cloud of white/very light blue smoke when i started it. I brought it back in and they said my turbo was leaking and needed to be rebuilt. so i was just wondering if anyone knows if that really was the problem or not (im totally fine with getting a rebuilt turbo out of the deal) but if it is somethin else they didnt find i would like to get that fixed too.

    Thanks for any help in advance!

    IHI turbos cannot be rebuilt. Look for another, as they are cheap.

    alright thanks, Ill let the dealer know. that way i get it for free instead of cheap xD. hopefully they just meant the new turbo was on the way, not rebuild parts.
