I just blew my second VF40 on my 06' LGT. There really isn't a telltale sign per say, when mine blew both times I was at full boost. There was a very high pitched whine probably from overspin, then the sound of metal, since the exhaust turbine broke. This turbo is known for problems due to screens that Subaru knew they should have removed, but if it hasn't actually detonated. Then it could be turbo slobber, the seals could be ready to go. If you can take a look in the air intake and inspect for any oil trails. Some oil residue is normal, but if it looks out of the ordinary it probably is going. Run you fingers in there, if its heavy. The turbo needs replacing. :-\
