New 2010 Legacy Turbo Setup

Anyone seen the new 2010Legacy turbo setup?? This will solve all the problems for you guys wanting to turbo your NA subies (no need for a crossmember swap). My only gripe about it is...no rumble from the equal length exhaust manifold, right Jon? But, there should be waaaaay better turbo response without the presence of an uppipe.

Sweet! Might even be sweet for us turbo guys to shorten the plumbing of out set-ups. Might really help for plumbing a FMIC (or hurt, maybe?).

meh, there's no room to fit that setup in older imprezas. Good for the new 2.5i though!

Looks like it'll be a good fit for the 914...

Looks like the location will limit you on turbo sizes. Any one got pics of this mounted to the legacy?

Crazy. Is that really a good place to be putting a turbo, though?

bye bye boxer rumble, I would love the response to this setup cause I'm more into BEASTIN'

I'm guessing they are gonna raise the motor for safety issues so piping and turbo could be out of harms way.

Maybe a similar WRC skid plate

I'm wondering how the oil gets back to the oil pan. Scavenging pump?

i hope its a FMIC. whether its close or not to the manifold, the compressor will still heat up the incoming air to build boost pressure. that's why intercoolers play that part in cooling.

I think you're looking for a lazy excuse out
