bought a 1996 Subaru Legacy, need input on turboing it.
 

like the title say. bought the wife one cause she wanted something other than a honda. Anyway, i searched around and f ound that the LSi came turboed and so did the GT. my question is anyone know how well the 2.2l bottom end would hold up to boost?

i saw a impreza this weekend at the junk and thought i could use the exhaust to fab up a twin turbo set up or a single one.

i knwo i can piece together a kit i just want to find out what engine management i should look into, i know Turbo edit is outta the question:P

anyone that can point me in the right direction would be my bestest friend.

The engine bay is more cramped than a Honda, don't expect your install to be problem-free. Boost that ho!

find out if you can use wrx parts. I believe the blocks are the same so things like the manifold should fit any subaru. The gt came turbo but they only made a few thousand of them, like 5,000, so they are not easy to find. The older subaru gl and subaru xt also came turbo from the factory with IHI's RHb5. if wrx parts fit you should be able to find a lot of used parts for it, injectors manifolds intercooler, hood scoops, turbos, pretty much copy a wrx setup/ By the way I have all these parts from my upgrades.

check

nasioc.com and wrxfanatics.com for a whole bunch of info on the cars
