  1. Whats up, i need help and direction, lol. I have an '05 LGT, silver sedan. Second owner. 178,000 miles.. and recently i blew the turbo, again, and if i replace it, will be the 3rd time... after three turbos, is the engine automatically toast? A friend and I have since under took the process of removing the engine to double check the mechanic's assessment. we are stripped and ready for the engine lift.. turbo is completely roasted, mechanic said oil blockage? I still need to figure out if the engine I have is not worth rebuilding.. where would I see visible damage? Also knowing it might be better to just buy a rebuilt engine, i have seen options for EJ257, EJ257B, and what I think is my current engine the EJ255? or is it a EJ25? I like the idea of more power, and restoring my car to the ultimate granny sleeper. I have seen some STI engines that seem compatible but I have not seen STI intake manifolds.. money aside, whats my best bang for the buck for wanting a 450hp vehicle.. complete engine to exhaust? Thank you for any response in advance.
