Sorry to bring up an old thread but I just thought you would all want to know this. I am going to buy my friends 05 outback xt that has 220k on it, has blown up three turbos and that last time it blew up it took out the motor as well. He hasn't driven it much at all since the newest turbo went into it and I plan on removing this filter before I even drive it home. I will report back with what it looks like if anyone is interested.
