my plans for the intake are, to take everythng off it, clean it up a bit, sand blast it and maybe paint it red and sell it. my plan for the turbo are to, install but i hve to find another block that will handle boost, im thinking the ej255, on the newwer legacy turbos. and bolt my head on it and work from here. i cleaned it today and fixed the wastegate, looks mint. hopfully by summer i will have a turbos leggy

it did come off a volvo, but what ihave read is that some volvos have td04s, and this is the page the i compared the pictures, and my turbo is identical to what they call a td04. idk maybe im wrong imjust going by this site

Only Subarus I can ever find in the yards are old Legacys (91-93) and a few mid to late 90's Legacy wagons. I've only seen two Imprezas and surprisingly enough one was an RS!
