dirkmcferlin2 Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 a buddy of mine bought a 2007 legacy "i believe 2007' all stock engine wise including intake and exhaust. but last night he was boosting it a little more then it could handle i take it, and now he can not bring his car too positive boost and there is black smoke coming out of just the tailpipe and i guess the other thing is theres residual oil in the intercooler and threw out the intake system. we where wondering what it could be, we are assuming something small maybe oil line(s) or something similar. but we are asking too save us time from our lack a sub eng knowledge. any opinions?

ripemeat Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 he already posted a thread. http://legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php/blowing-smoke-no-boost-and-knocking-noise-198860.html?p=4224662#post4224662 sounds like a shot turbo, or even a blown out piston. suggested retrieving CEL code, checking for shaft play on the turbo, compression test. those will give all the needed answers.
