Sometime in early 2007 I plan on attempting a JDM twin turbo 2.0 swap on my 95 legacy wagon. I want to have everything I need and all my research done by then, so do you guys know any one who has attempted this swap or is there any advice you can give. In the mean time I am going to work on acquiring all the main components, is there any odds and ends I should replace besides the obvious like trans, axles, ecu...ect.? Does anyone know where I can find some technical info on the JDM versions of our cars? Any help you guys can offer will be greatly appreciated.

Read through the swaps and conversions forum, there are several threads where Gator GT and myself list out pretty much everything you'll need.
Also, the twin turbo engine won't fit in your LHD car. If you want to do the twin turbo, you'll have to do a RHD conversion as well, which requires a knack with a welder and some knowhow. Also, you'd have to get a full front clip.
I hate repeating this again, but I recommend either landing a JDM STi front clip, or doing something USDM. I and several others on the forums have hookups for parts like that, and the price isnt really that different. The twin turbo is also impossible to get parts for.
I havent gone nearly into the depth of what needs to be said, but read through the threads, there arent that many in swaps and conversions section, and if you have any more questions hit me up. Gator GT knows his stuff too.
Oh, and could you maybe hook me up with a 2.5rs front bumper skin, beam, and hood? :-D My subaru parts guys keep asking me for a vin number and when i give them the one off my 93 L chassis they refuse to order the RS stuff for me. I'd need it shipped to CT too, as thats where the cars getting swapped.
