2005 Legacy GT with STi swap PICS

[COSTIGAN86]

Finally finished the STi swap. WRX intake manifold, huge Ebay STi TMIC, Walbro255, Turbosmart 50/50 BOV, and a TD05-16g EVO3. Full boost at 3000RPM. E-tuned by PDX. She moves, she moves.

I know that this can be done cleaner. I still need to fab some intercooler brackets. But I have less than $600 in parts!

Nice work! Resoning behind going this route instead of stock location turbo? Now with the 08-10 WRX's sharing the intake/turbo/intercooler setup with the LGT's, they are coming out with more turbos all the time.

Cool project none the less and kudos for doing it different.

Well I thought about that but this gives me more options in the future for turbo upgrades for less money. The only thing now is stock TGVs won't fit with a 3" turbo inlet. So if I decide to upgrade again all I need is injectors, turbo, TGV deletes, and a bigger turbo inlet hose.

ic brackets are pretty cheap even from the dealer as long as your block is tapped for them
