Default My Loverrrly '92 Legacy Turbo

Here some pics from the summer!





Shes done a few miles (170000) but shes still very much alive and i'm spending loads on her!!!! Has full decat 2.5" exhaust back to one backbox, HKS induction kit, VOS chip, Forge dump valve. Also have a TD05 and forge adjustable actuator to go on, and i'm waiting for my H & S downpipe. Also bought some 2 pot rear calipers to go on... still go loads to buy yet but i love it cos its different and nobody usually knows what it is!!!

Not having a dig mate, but the first pic really looks like a Nova.
I've never seen one of these before, its good to have something different.
What sort of power have those mods given you?

LOL nova. i havent had it rolling roaded yet, waiting to get the turbo and actuator on, then the injectors and front mount before i even bother. might not be a lot because i expect the engine is a tad tired. These are around the 200bhp mark from the factory.

Yes it is a charge cooler. There was a post on here a few years ago where some one put a charge cooler on their Impreza, and I think is was better than the standard intercooler.

On impreza's they use an intercooler to keep engine and turbo temps down, but on the legacy its different. A charge cooler uses water.

I had a Legacy turbo saloon too and really miss it. Had my Impreza MY00 from new after trading in the Legacy and missed it still and tried to buy it back but it had been sold on.

Pound for pound they must be the ultimate Q car for what the go for. Mine was std but still very quick not quite Impreza quick due to the weight but not far off especially once rolling
