I have not heard back from Subaru yet, Which is ok I guess given its the holidays. Board of driving the station wagon they gave me. Dont get me wrong its a nice car, but not exactly a WRX.
In any case, my story does not seem to be isolated, good feedback on youtube and where i posted the video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3cjXSNxfJfI and by email.
I also got several news groups linking to the blog and chatting about the problem and mentioning my story. Hope Subaru sorts this engine problem out soon.
Here are some of the other discussion online around this issue, lots others as well, wont list all

Will keep you posted
I here ya on the problems and am now a little nervous about my 08 WRX. Seems there’s a pretty big problem with the 2.5L Turbo and SOA just wants to keep selling them and dealing with warranties on a case by case basis rather than recalling and fixing. I award them no points for being consumer friendly and will not recommend them to anyone. I love my car, ut I am starting to hate the company it was made by.
