Yup, no shaft play...didn't see anything that would lead me to believe the turbo was the culprit. Didn't see any oil residue anywhere on either side of the turbine. I'm not a turbo expert, so I wasn't really sure what to look for.

From talking with others and internet researching, my next step in troubleshooting is looking at the PCV system...other things suggester were to do a leak-down test...which I have no clue how to do and don't think I have that equipment.

Go to a shop if you have a chance bro! to do the leak-down test. I dont know if in your area you can find a shop that works on Subaru, Evo something like that.... Is a most in a shop that work on those cars. I tell you that cause when i have my STi the mechanics that works on my car have the equipment

I hope you can resolve this soon bro!
