You're thinking the older EA82T when you say leaks oil and worthless.
I'm not a big Scoobie fan, but for you to not know the difference makes me wish you get fisted by multiple large gay men.
PS - EJ12 and ER27 are my fav Scoobie engines.

A local here who was a tuner and owned a dyno had a mid 80's Subaru turbo which he fabbed a mani for,GT28R,Holley pro jection,custom top mount intercooler etc etc.It looked like a flaming pile of ---- on the outside but it actually went pretty good.It was laggy as ---- due to the 8-1 or lower compression but made some half decent torque.I think he got it to run a low 14 wheel hopping like a bastard.I will try to find some pics for you the fab work under the hood was beautiful as he is a A or B ticket welder and pro with the tig.

88, I did fleet maintanence on a pile of first gen Legacy back a decade ago. At 200 to 300K they were nothing like you are describing. 90, EA82 spool late because they make LS look like a good cam design. I've seen dynos of 20 wtq gains in the midrange from cam swaps and the car still idles stock.

NO I most surly did not, factory turbo or something someone built? Pics? I'm rocking a 91 sprint right now with the 1.0l 3cyl, they are both suzuki engines I think, so it would be similer? This car makes me want to kill myself though, but for 100.00, 3 exhaust valves and a head set its alright. I have seen a awd justy that was not like ours but based on the sprint/swift body with subaru badges from europe or some ----.

Dude the EJ22T came in all the 91-94 BC6/BF6 turbo legacies you fuckface. Get your ---- strizzaight. Not to mention they have VLSD rear diffs also and thats a bonus too. The internals are good up to 350crank hp being the forged rods and super low compression pistons(8.0 to 1). The numbers it puts out is crazy for a turbo'd 2.2L engine then again it's nonintercooled and only pushing like 7-8psi so it's rather conservative for the reliability point of view for the manufacturer. Now toss a FMIC or hell just a WRX or STI TMIC and you should see some better numbers. Also the tranny in the turbo model is alot stronger then the NA tranny. I drove a legacy wagon and good god that ****** was HUGE! My wife's chevy venture felt like the same size as that thing seriously. My wife works for the city and the police department are going to be getting rid of their meter maid RHD legacy for dirt cheap(under 2g's). EJ20TT are under 1g on ebay all the time and came in the Legacy's stock. The EJ20TT won't work with in the USDM Legacy.
