Replying to: bburagos (Aug 13, 2008 9:47 am) As for the iPod integration kit, I believe it will work with any OEM stereo that has satellite radio capabilities. You won't be able to have both though as the iPod kit uses the satellite radio input on the back of the head unit. I've got it working on an '07 head unit (that I bought with Subaru Bucks  ). I don't know if it will work on the newer head units, but I suspect it would. If you buy it and it doesn't work you could always sell it on the lgt.com classifieds. Cheers! |

At 49K miles under normal hot day highway conditions I experienced smoke from under hood and power loss. It turned out that the rubber hose that feeds oil to the turbocharger crumbled spontaneously and hot oil hit hot exhaust manifold. Not to mention that the turbo was trashed. Both the mechanic and the fire insurance adjuster felt that a rubber oil tube should have never been used in that turbo environment. Fire coverage was declined. Subaru of America was no help as they would only replace with same factory parts and the car is out of warranty. Because it is a fire hazard and a hazard for the guy on the motorcycle behind me (when the car blows out 5 gallons of oil slick on the highway) I want to fix this correctly with none factory parts and aftermarket rigs. I have the offending tube segment in possession and the rubber is literally cooked and brittle. Any other suggestions? Has anyone have had a similar failure?

Replying to: julianh (Aug 15, 2008 1:01 pm) As for a rubber hose for the oil, I'm fairly certain that there are hard lines that feed the oil to the turbo. The hose may be for the PCV valve or a vaccum line. I'll have to check the factory manuals though. On a side note, I've gotten my turbo red-hot and never melted that line on my 2.5GT. -mike Motorsports and Modifications Host |

The blown rubber oil hose feeds the turbo lubrication on the 2005 outback 2.5xt. Heat degradation appears to be the factor.Mechanic and insurance adjuster felt it was a poor design in hot area. Anyone experienced similar problem?
