Ello guys just got myself an mps6 and am a bit torn at the moment. I had an Impreza for the last few years but I wanted a something a bit more civilized hence the mps6. But its now become apparent the car is a bit of a dog. Am very impressed with the interior of the car compared to the scoobie but I on closer inspection the turbo on the mps is blown. Ive not been able to drive the mps quick yet and its not leaving me with confidence in the rest of the car reliability wise. So am joining this forum just to get some more info on the car and what parts people would suggest. Thanks.

Welcome along. How do you know the turbo has gone before we start, leaking oil, smoke, no performance etc...?

 As above, what makes you think the turbo is on its way?

Welcome to the forum. Sorry to learn that your experience hasn't started well. Turbo's can fail on these cars at will, doesn't mean the car is a dog however. As asked before, what makes you think the turbo has failed?
