Looking for a shop to do engine work on Sti

Hi,

I recently drove from Milwaukee to the Twin Cities and about half way through, a little while after refilling with gas, my car started to run like crap and made a high pitch rattling sound under load. I tried to baby it home, but I'm expecting the worst and unfortunately, it is out of warranty. Has anybody here had engine work done on their STi and can recommend a shop, preferably near New Brighton? Should I just bring it to the dealership in White Bear Lake?

Thanks!

 

PM driftin240 or subytek, they are both subaru techs and do lots of engine work.

 

This, very much this!!

 

Thanks! I PM'ed both of them.

After thinking about the problem some more, it sounds like it could be something in the turbo that is rattling/spinning because it happens only under boost... It would be nice if it was just a blown turbo, but I don't have tools up here to take a look myself.

 

how many miles does the turbo have? Has it ever been replaced?

 

It is the stock turbo. Has about 53k miles on it.

 

Sounds like you filled up with Holiday gas.... <flame suit>

 

I see what you did there, for reals. No flaming here.

 

Actually it was BP and I pumped premium in according to my receipt... This suck.
