I believe so. They have used 2 turbos inline of different size to prevent lag.

That car has been off and on Ebay for the past year (atleast).... Not too sure that it's a "gem".... It is unique though, I will give it that...
The twin turbo engine isn't all that great. It definitly isn't an STi beater. I rode in a B4 legacy sedan in Australia last year. It was alright... Felt like it had alittle more kick that a WRX in the mid-range. But there was LAG Galore down low though!!!... Over all the B4 is a pretty cool car though

In the engine bay photo, the front grille/medallion isn't the same as in the rest of the photos.

I also see that the engine picture is intentionally blurred on both sides....probably so you can't tell that the cars next to it are different than the cars from the other pics.

I wonder if this is the same twin-turbo Legacy that was on eBay a couple months ago. That one was wrecked, but certainly not beyond repair.

The mismatched photos are suspicious...

Extremely suspicious...

-Chike

P.S. If it does have a legit twin turbo set-up, that car would be an awesome 'sleeper'!

That one that was on eBay before was in Wolcott CT and this one is in Farmington CT. I am willing to bet that they are the same car.
