My 94 Legacy Wagon

Can't wait to see this in person! Saw the color on a little piece of tape before it was painted and it looked awesome!

 
Man this thing looks awesome. I can't wait to see it in person too. And I like the eyelids. Makes it look aggressive

 
That car does look amazing. Great choice on the color and I agree about the lids making it look more aggressive! I can't wait to see it at the meet.

So clean

made some progress in the last few days, I am fabricating the entire rotated mount setup vs buying a kit. Also decided to approach the intercooler pipes differently then I normally build them. Usually I buy 90 deg mandrel bends and cut them to get the angles I need then weld them together, this time im taking a much more time consuming approach. I am using pie cuts, which are small pieces of pipe with a 5 deg cut on each side. combining these you can make what ever degree bend you want. the upside is that its very precise and looks really cool, the downside is the amount of cutting, fitting and welding required. I figured, might as well go the extra mile with this project since the rest of the car is built top notch.

heres the pics so far, enjoy!

old setup, new turbo

all stripped down, turbo mocked up in position. decided to run the pressure pipe under the manifold

was able to use a piece of pressure hose from a 2nd gen DSM intercooler that I had laying around

got the dp done today, and started figuring out where other stuff was gonna mount. changed the p/s lines, since I went with a wrx pump. also replaced my oil pump with a 11mm sti one, replaced my timing belt with a turbo one and changed the tensioner bracket out for a turbo one with the small 5th idler pulley

 
well, car runs again. Needs to be tuned, ill prob start working on that this weekend. Dave came over today and helped me finish up all the other stuff, coolant lines, fuel lines, wiring etc. I tossed the ecu in and it started on the 550 map I put in it, but obviously ran rich since the injectors are 800cc. I did away with the stock fuel lines and made a setup like what you can buy aftermarket so all the injectors get the same volume of fuel instead of factory that puts #4 as the last cyl to get fuel. Still need to decide on a spot for the bov and weld that flange on, but that's minor.

Also cut/ground all the casting marks off my intake manifold and painted it wrinkle black. Used a 05 sti coolant tank and a 06 LGT p/s resivor to make the install a little cleaner. got the dp painted and wrapped in heat wrap, bolted right up like it belonged there.

heres a few finished pics, minus the bov I need to add.
