Default CEL, Misfire and smoke from behind turbo. Bit stuck!

Hi all,

Last weekend, my '02 WRX threw a wobbly on me - was driving through town traffic and all of a sudden the CEL appears, starts misfiring (feels like it's running on 3) and when I limped it home from Westerham to Beckenham - there was smoke from behind the turbo, like the up-pipe area.

Prior to this, it was hiccuping and holding back slightly.

Could the turbo smoke and CEL/misfire and rough running be related in any way? As it all happened at once.

It's a bit concerning, to say the least!

Any comments welcome, as Scooby is sat on my drive looking sorry for himself.

None of my local garages want to touch a Subaru and one said their diagnostic equipment isn't compatible. I've tried to contact Slowboy Racing, but can't get through.


Cheers in advance.
