Similar?
Excuse me if this question has been asked before; I was wondering if the 06 Forester XT engine is a detuned version of the 06 STI engine? From previous threads I gather that they are quite similar.
Thanks, Bob

it's the same as the 06 wrx engine(same compression). the 06 sti has a lower compression than the xt and wrx. on the other hand,the 05 forester xt and 05 sti are the same engine.

Yes but AFAIK the injectors are the same, the turbo will bolt on and the IC needs some bracket modification and you need to watch the back of the IC does not rub a hole in the AC line (needs to be bent out of the way or something)
