how is this thing twin turbo?

jermdeez · 08-29-2009, 10:02 AM

dunno but the us definitely had one of those turbo, wouldn't be shocked.

Not to rain on anyones parade but I call BS on the twin turbo. It only has one intake path and the top mount is tiny! To my knowledge subaru never released a twin turbo legacy in the us..

but didn't he say he is in Japan?

There was a Legacy TT released in Japan, he's not lying.

It was kind of a pointless setup though because they didn't make much power for being TT, it's kind of cool though.

Look at the engine bay pic.... there's not a turbo between the airbox and intake manifold... Something tells me you got taken for a ride??? Or post more / better pics

^ Yeah there is, theres just that shroud blocking it so you cant see it bent towards the turbo. Why else would it have a top mount?

they did make a legacy twin turbo setup in Japan. a few years back jdmpartstx had one of the complete intake/exhaust/turbos setups from one of these.

like someone said they didn't make a ton of power stock but it was pretty cool.

nice pickup on the Legacy. a friend of mine just got back from 3 years in japan (yokasuka) and the cars on/around base were pretty sweet. a lot of stuff like that would cost big $$$ over there but are pretty affordable there for soldiers since japanese want to dump them since the taxes are to be so high on them.
