Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

Thank you guys! But this is the main concern, I don't know whether former owner followed right OCI. A car now has 83 000 miles (~132 000km) I've been following OCI since I bought it (13,5k miles ago). Still want to be sure all is good there. I looked for a screw union here: http://parts.subaru.com/p/Subaru_2008_Outback25L-TURBO-5ATXT-Limited/SCREW-UNION/49227604/15194AA110.html so this one definitely not the one. But that one looks like the right thing: http://parts.subaru.com/p/Subaru_2008_Outback25L-TURBO-5ATXT-Limited/SCREW-UNION-TURBO/49226881/14439AA010.html It doesn't have a 'nipple' though. Probably no screen inside. When I was looking for the location of this bolt, I noticed some oil residue right around the turbo inlet. It was covered with dust and didn't seem to soak. It doesn't look right IMHO. Does it?

What a great thread, guys! Took me quite a time to complete. I'm on Outback XT(2500) 2008. I think I was able to find one. It sits just under turbo intake, vertically, with a "niple" on the head. Not sure which one is the right one, though. Could anyone advise? http://opposedforces.com/parts/legacy/us_b13/type_46/intake_and_supply_system_turbocharger/turbo_charger/ #4 or #9?
