soo I just picked up a legacy turbo. im thinking on building it like tdo4 wrx intercooler and ej25d heads ported and such .. anyybody out there wana share what you did to yours? im not sure what im going to do for engine management yet tho, ideas?

 
First off, damn you. I want one of those. (assuming you mean an old SS)

Second... Mike is a legacy SS genius.

 
Yeah let Mikeymeyagi chime in here, he knows exactly what you need! Lets see some pics of this new car!! And where did you get it? How much? Anything wrong with it? We need details man!!

 
Start off with the exhaust. I went ebay 3in turboback for 150 bucks. Any wrx exhaust will do. The axle back will need to be extended though and some hangers rewelded, no problem for an exhaust shop.

Then do the coffee can mod, search for that on legacycentral. Its just an intake mod.

Im running the td04 and 07 tmic and it goes pretty good. You need a 90 inlet welded on to the turbo though, or buy a silicone one. But Im really looking forward to the vf23 that Mikes running right now. To run that I need 550cc Injectors, aka STI yellow top, front mount, ej25 heads, ej20ecu, and rob tune. The ej20 ecu and rob tune(a guy off of legacycentral, a site you should now join) make it run really good . Mike has had great success.

 
its a 94 sedan auto

. 195k on it, the cars in pretty rough shape, the motor sounds amazing tho its the quietest subaru iv ever herd. no piston slap valve clatter... nothing . I got it for 500 bucks . it was the one gabe posted in the craigslist thread in new hampshire. haven't decided if I wana build a legacy or swap motor into an impreza of some sort . but I do know I want to build the motor so im starting there ... im going to do a full exhaust system. il look up that coffee can intake mod so basicaly I should run an ej20 ecu ? I have a friend that has a megasquirt setup that he would sell me for wicked cheap and I might try that just because its super cheap.

 
That's a pretty nice price! If the auto is getting tired, it would probably be a good idea to swap that before adding power.

At the very least, tune up the transmission NOW! It made a gigantic difference on mine.

 
Are those current pics? From the FB post Ray made, it sounds like it needs brakes. Whats up with them?

 
oh yea another quick comment .. it gets turbo chatter and I can hear the bov or w.e else is there I didnt think that would be normal?

 
Looks like it already has an exhaust? Maybe there are other mods too, to make the turbo and blow off sound?

 
h gave me other doors, but I basically bought it for the motor. if I wana build a legy ill buy a non turbo rust free one for cheap .. idk yet tho

 
ABS is stupid anyway. Better off without it. e-brake is easy. Someone probably drove with it on. Just adjust it at the brake end. Same as adjusting drum brakes, because that's what it is.

 
this one doesn't have vented rotors :/ .. yea I adjusted the ebrake on the inside but it just gets bad again real quick . its all warn out
