Leggy 2010 engine pics

with the turbo there you would have thought they would have come up with a front mount i/c not another tmic

I agree, however...

Short runner equal length exhaust manifold? check

Super duper short cold pipe? check (non existent)

3' of hot side ic piping with super short runs where you want the air to either stay hot or stay cold is as ideal as Subaru is going to get with a top mount.

If they go to this plumbing on the Imprezas it will be very interesting to see how much room there is to shoehorn a big turbo down there along with a big intercooler.

 
I am also wondering how safe the turbo is from temperature shock at that location. I would think that a deep puddle or snow could make for a harsher environment for the unit in that location. I would also think that an intake would need to still need to be mounted higher to avoid injestion of water. Just thinking out loud

Are they using twin scroll turbos? That exaust manifold would be ideal for a twin scroll setup.

It appears that way from what I see... you can see the pipe bends where 2+4 and 1+3 will merge but there's no indication of another collector. Also, the size of the turbine inlet flange suggests dual inlet to me.

The intake appears to remain mostly the same up high with some added piping to the compressor inlet.

 
I bet it is more capable of this. 265 is a such a small gain in number compared to the current leggy. I bet they under rate it so they don't out shine there STI.

I bet they put a really good engine shield under try. they would have to do something.

Yeah, that's just it. For those of us who like to play in the occasional snowbank or small stream, it worries me.

265 is the number. The major difference is the torque curve. Peak torque comes early in the RPM range and is maintained until 5800 rpms. I have talked to Richard Rizzo, an SNE trainer, and he says his demo is trouble above an idle.

No you guys don't understand what I am saying. I am saying Subaru underrated this car kind of like how Nissan underrated there Skylines for years to meet laws in Japan. Except Subaru did it so they don't outshine there STI's. Why buy a 300 hp STI with no options when you can get a Leggy with same power but with nice options.

I bet this Leggy is capable of so much more.

Drop a good tune down on this thing and I bet you can pop 300 crank hp without even touching anything under the hood.
