Rust behind Turbo
I have a 04 wrx and im very concerned about some rust going on right behind the turbo. This is the only thing that looks like this in the engine area. The actual turbo isn't rusty, it's just the piping behind it. I was told that it should be no concern, but wanted to ask u guys also and see what u think..
Thanks!!
Thanks!!

If you mean the exhaust side of the turbo, (basically the back half)
It should be fine. That part is made of cast iron and that stuff rusts like crazy. It is only surface rust though, the actual metal is pretty tough and withstand a lot of weathering. The structural integrity isn't compromised.
