Hi, im Kelvin, im 20 and... im a subaru-holic.

Ive been a long time reader, and only just managed to register. Im a member on a few different (mainly NZ/Aus) forums.

I live in Christchurch, in New Zealand and im on my 4th legacy now, which is a 1996 Legacy GTB. My GTB has a VF36 twin scroll turbo from a 2005 WRX Sti spec C (and all associated manifold, sump etc). Its manual, and is running a Link Plus ECU (which is in need of a dyno tune).

Welcome, turbo Legacies are the minority on this forum but several of us (myself included) have them. Yours sounds pretty awesome. Did it start out turbo'ed or is it a custom built setup? I'm guessing it is custom built since you are running a full standalone EMS. I'm jealous of your Link Plus, I'm running my hybrid setup off an older USDM Legacy 2.2L Turbo ECU. Put up some more pics of your car when you get the chance.

just put up a post in the members rides section.

The previous owner did the conversion, but its a genuine GTB so it started life factory twin turbo. The LinkPlus is a full wire in EMS that has more features than you can shake a stick at.

All the turbo parts are off a 2005 WRX Sti spec C (factory parts for that car).

Seeing some of the cars you guys have over there on this forum, its pretty amazing. Seen some damn nice cars.
