    Hey Everyone,

    I have had some engine smoking issues over the last month. I added some Lucas oil additive to the oil supply and that worked, but today I noticed smoke and some oil burning.

    Anyone recomend a place in Alpharetta that is mod friendly to take it to for checkup/compression test?

    I am catless and not sure what ramifications I can run into taking it to a dealer. I am AP stg 2 with about 60k miles.

    Thanks,
    Rob

    TopSpeed if your just looking for a compression / Leakdown test.

    SOK if you need to find a dealership that wont hate on the mods.

    I am guessing KingWRX at SOK?

    I may do that, because I am wanting it towed. Dont feel very comfortable driving it now. Thank you for the advice.

    We are located in Duluth. Right near Alpharetta. We can do a Compression test for you if you need.

    I do. If it needs more than a test I will be gone for a week on vacation and would like to have the car in one place instead of two.

    Stupid as it may seem.

    Not trying to dog SOK, but Topspeed can do anything SOK for probably a little cheaper. I wouldn't hesitate to let Topspeed do work on my car. The two mechanics at Topspeed probably have more experience on Suby's than some of the mechanics at Subaru Dealers.

    I dont doubt anyones ability. This just happened at the worst possible time. I have a flight tomorrow and had to make a descision. Just had to pull the trigger. Murphy's law will always bite you in the ass.

    hate to hear this.

    I'd take my car to any of the 3 shops mentioned. Just pick one and go with it.

    It could be something as simple as the seals in the turbo are blown. They are known for doing that.
