Does anyone know exactly what I would need in order to successfully transplant a 2.5 Turbo into a 2001 Legacy GT Sedan. I'm not very knowlegable in these matters, but I would assume I would need the following:
1) ECU from the turbo motor that I will be using
2) Transmission? I have an automatic so I beleive I am limited as to the
engine I can get
3) Drive train
4) Turbo exhaust
5) Engine of course
The first thing that comes to mind is the baja turbo, in essence it's like the legacy turbo we never had, and it came as an automatic. I also beleive the B4 RSK twin turbo also came as an automatic but I know that transplanting a JDM B4 RSK twin turbo engine does not appear to be an option as I heard the turbo is routed via what would be for us Left Handed Drivers, the steering column. Any comments?
I inquired about the labour of installing a turbo into my car and the labour alone would be $2700 as the wiring is a nightmare.
Thanks
