Blown turbo seal?
Let me preface this thread with the fact that I have done extensive searches on the forums and have yet too be able too draw some conclusions. I am new to the modding/internet forum game so please excuse my ridiculous ignorance when it come to my car speak and the "thread posting" etiquette.
I have an 08 WRX that seems too be chomping down some oil. I have been doing some logging on my AP and don't have high RPM knock but I am getting some low rpm knock of sometimes -7.0. Which maybe something loose in the engine bay??
The car is running really well. I am up too date on my services BUT I am at 107,000 miles. I did throw a code the other night when I mashed on the throttle "p0244".
I am curious if I may have finally blown my intsy-winni TD04.
MODS: I am running an AEM intake, catless 3" TBE, lightweight pulley, gates racing belts, Turbo XS 50/50 @ TP stage 2. Also something too note is that I am getting some black soot on my bumper but I haven't noticed smoke. Car still pulls but I am getting constant over boost. LWG map is an option but I would rather solve the problem than mask it.

yeah, I am wondering about my valve seals as well. Is it possible too shoot oil from a busted oil seal on your turbo through your TMIC and into your motor?
