Default somebody talk to me about the old subaru legacy turbos

I have had a couple in the shop over the years but never really paid attention to them much. I need a dd/family/death machine. I know I have seen wagons and sedans, I would like to find a sedan 5spd. Tell me all you know, mods, performance, specs ect.

The motor in those older turbo'd legacys are about as stout as they come. You should see the demand for those. I kid you not. It's pretty much the next best thing to like a STI engine as far as blocks go. They can take boost like ho takes ****. Do a search for EJ22T. I like sube's but the legacy isn't that pretty to look at and I'm a shorter guy and the car felt huge and I could move the seat all the way foward and still felt like I was tippe toeing to reach the pedals.

Are you hopped up on ****? EJ22 are indestructible, and what feels like a 15 second grandma car can be taken WOT up steep *** washed out driveways at 35-40 mph when a stock Honduh would be bouncing around and losing surface contact at 10 mph. 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.
