lol--I would not have bought 2005-2008 models if I had read about the difficulties before buying. I admit, had test run Subaru outbacks for a couple years and was certain Subaru would be my next purchase. Then, after driving my 1999 Landrover Discovery for 3 years, I test drove the 2005 Legacy GT wagon, comparing it to the Outback. The turbo won and I purchased it because of the handling and response. BTW, my 2005 Legacy GT is for sale now as is.

the link to the very detailed of turbo issues history was a great help! Thanks. Wish I'd found this prior to purchasing the car ---
