Re: my turbo legacy

The leggy looks to much like the SVX from the back. I never noticed that before. Wierd.

I was thinking the same thing... giving a double take on the pictures .

Looks like a pleasant home/garage to come home to daily... good luck on your progress.

<<headers, up-pipe, down pipe. boost to 10lbs. full 3 inch exhaust. bigger hood scoop>>

save your money on the headers,downpipe, and up pipe and buy yourself a bigger turbo and a I/C so your hoodscoop is (more)functional

Re: my turbo legacy

if you want it to be reliable, just get a td04 and leve the boost at stock aka 10 psi, it makes a huge differance. cheap fast relaible, pick two.

Re: my turbo legacy

the 3" piping after the turbo (downpipe and catback) will help out.
i'm usually told not to waste my time/money on the headers/up pipe - though my up pipe is not catted already.. but still, i'd like to change out my headers and up just because i'ts the last pipes on the car that hasn't been changed.
