the legacy is 2.0 twin turbo as std...........and it will be a pain if your attempting to run it as a single turbo (because of the extra oil/water feeds on the pass head) or if you try and run it in t/turbo as you will need some means of cotrolling it........

According to a few people I spoke to once about this... it's really not worth the hassle due to extra turbo On leggy. I was told just spend the money on uprating standard impreza engine?
