Are you seeing any issues with the turbo itself? Is it possible you blew an oil return line?

I saw the CEL list that you had but being on my phone I am going from memory and I feel like those are codes given during engine failure. Cylinder 3? I don't remember exactly.

Turbo doesn't have any oil lines only coolant, it's an Oilless Turbo.

300 and 301 are misfires on both sides. 21 14 B and C are Cam issues.

Here was some information posted about a TSB on this issue;

• Engine - AVCS DTC's Stored In ECM Memory

NUMBER: 02-132-12R
DATE: 08/21/12
*REVISED: 01/21/13* APPLICABILITY:
2012 and Later Impreza and XV Crosstrek
NA Models (FB Engine)
2013MY BRZ (FA Engine)
2013MY Legacy and Outback Models (FB Engine)
2011MY and Later Forester NA Models (FB Engine) SUBJECT:
Diagnosis and Repair for AVCS-Related DTCs
P000A, P000B, P000C, P000D, P0011, P0014,
P0021 and P0024 INTRODUCTION
This Bulletin provides a procedure for diagnosis and determination of necessary part replacement in the event any of the "AVCS Slow Response" or "AVCS System Failure" DTCs listed above are found to be stored in the ECM memory. A possible cause of these conditions is contamination within the camshaft sprocket and / or oil control solenoid valve (OCV) mechanism. COUNTERMEASURE IN PRODUCTION



Countermeasures were incorporated into production during July, 2012 starting with the VINs shown.
SERVICE PROCEDURE / INFORMATION
NOTES : Only the Intake-related DTCs are applicable to Legacy, Outback and Forester models. *DTC P0011 and P0021 are applicable to Forester models only.* ^ Using the SSMIII, determine which DTC is stored. ^ Determine the location of the suspect component using the DTC List ^ Swap the Oil Control Solenoid Valves side-to-side (intake to intake or exhaust to exhaust, not between intake and exhaust on same side) following the procedure in the applicable Service Manual. NOTE : The o-ring and nylon backer ring on the OCV must be replaced prior to reinstallation as they both are one-time use items. ^ Clear the ECM memory. ^ Perform *the model-specific Drive Cycle or Inspection Mode procedure for the corresponding DTC as shown in the chart. ^ Follow the applicable procedure below for locating either Inspection Mode or Drive Cycle instructions to coincide with the reference chart. 1. For BRZ: Using the Service Diagnostics tab on the STIS home page, enter your vehicle search parameters (example: 2013 > BRZ). Next, using the DTC tab, enter P0021 for INTAKE-related DTCs or P0024 for EXHAUST-related DTCs. Select the applicable link from your search result (example: P0021: Camshaft Position "A" - Timing Over-Advanced or System Performance (Bank 2)). Follow the diagnostic outline down to TEST DRIVE (for Drive Cycle) information. 2. For All Other Models: Using the Service Diagnostics tab on the STIS home page, enter your vehicle search parameters (example: 2013 > Outback). Next, enter specific DTC into the search term box. Select the applicable link from your search result (examples: ENGINE (DIAGNOSTICS) (H4DO) > Drive Cycle > PROCEDURE or ENGINE (DIAGNOSTICS) (H4DO) > Inspection Mode > PROCEDURE).*


DTC LIST
Does the suspect component / problem location change to the opposite bank of the engine by resetting the applicable DTC?
^ YES- Replace the suspect OCV with a new part (including a new o-ring and backer ring). ^ NO- Replace the suspect camshaft sprocket with a new part. (It is not necessary to return OCVs to their original positions.) IMPORTANT : After any component replacement, perform the applicable *Drive Cycle or Inspection Mode procedure again* to confirm the repair. WARRANTY / CLAIM INFORMATION



For vehicles within the Basic New Car Limited and/or Powertrain Warranty period, this repair may be claimed using the information shown.
NOTE : These labor times include all the Drive Cycle or Inspection Mode procedures as needed and all SSMIII use.

No water nothing in the charge pipes, no error code for the MAF if it would have gotten wet.

I would rather be honest with the dealer but right now I don't see anything that points to my setup being the issue. I swear I read about others having issues of this nature.

Are you using EcuTek? If so does it still run? Does it feel or sound like it momentarily runs on 3 cylinders?

I ask because if so there is a log I need to see that will help with diag. Those codes are often tossed with OCV failure on the exhaust cams.

I can barely get it running it's running like one or more cylinders is out

First off. Really sorry about what happened.

Second. I'm looking into getting this kit really soon, and if I need to order other parts associated with it i'd like to know.

Also I think I read that this is the prototype kit? Do you know how its different from the production kit?

Do you want me to get a log, I am getting all my ducks in a row on this end for one reason, if the dealer will fix it (Which I do not expect) cool but I have screen shots of the error codes I found which I have not cleared and other pictures. I have had my brother (Also an ASE Master Tech) come out and give me his opinion which we both agree the car did not suck up water it's taking coolant from the radiator.
If the cams locked I would expect bent valves and bad headgasket(s) to be the most likely issue here esp. with a TSB on this.

While it's hard to get the car to run I am willing to fire it to try for another confirmation.

My reasoning behind all of this is that if they are going to void my warranty, which I expect, I should get the 1500 I gave them back for the extended warranty that I have not even gotten into the mileage or time frame to use. That's all I would want at this point if they say no which again I kinda expect because I boosted it. Yes it may not have been the boost but you do pay to play.

If they give me the 1500 back even if it's on the amount left on my loan then I am completely fine with that and I will just rebuild the motor myself. I already found another stock motor to use while I do it (2800 plus shipping, it has 16k miles) then I can figure out where I can get pistons and rod's to make a motor thats the same compression ratio as stock but forged along with head studs and go use that as my new motor that I know I will not have to worry about at my power levels.
(Although I apparently need to look into what the fix is for the cam issue I had so it doesn't happen again)
