your geared better than he so i bet you'll be happy and if not then 2.5 it is lol
the goal would be the 2.5 down the road. by putting the 2.0 in the car first, it will be a easy swap later. just looking at Kims 2.5 compared to the 2.0, to me it appears that a lot of stuff will interchange. the polished stuff that is. do any of you have input on the interchangeability of the 2.5 / 2.0 external parts???

FAST The intercooler is in the plan.  thanking I will design it myself. outback makes a great product. BBBBUUUUTTTTT one in collage and one getting close to it,, makes me a tight ass. lol necessity is the mother of all invention. they say!! I made all the plumbing on the turbo VW so how hard could it be.   5: 5: 5: 5: 5:

I got the inter cooler you need and the best thing its cheap.  ;D

If I believe I cannot do something it makes me incapable of doing it. But when I believe that I can, then I acquire the ability to do it , even if I didn't have it at the beginning.

I don't know of a stroker crank.  The stock comp ratio for a non-turbo engine 10.5:1.  My JDM 2.5 was too high to turbo, I had to get another short block from outback.

so what is the ratio on the factory turbo motor? 8.5/1?

I thank it should of had one stock. but you flip the exhaust around backwards so non of it works.

from what I've seen there is range of ratio 9.5/8.5/ 10/1.  you need to know the car it came out of. that or take it down and cc it.

looks like you nailed it down. 2003-2006 Legacy GT seems to be right. this matches the turbo.  looks like 9-1.

jeep buddy hooked me up today. he happened to have the radiator and fan seat up, that I've ordered. so I was able to fab it in place. new 3 core aluminum  one should slip right in.

how high are you going to run the boost ? only reason i ask is you might want to fab an external waste gate in while your doing all this. you can keep the internal as well just set it up as a back up or vise a versa. can't see if that turbo uses a stock suby flange or t3 or t4 flange. if it's a t3 or t4, then there are several bolt on mounts for external wg's that can be bought cheap, or weld on mounts. just a thought. i am not expert from but from what i have read on it, the internal works good for 10 psi and under.... but over that it can boost creep more than you think, where the external works better for 10 psi and over, yet doesn't seem to creep near as much as the internal. i am sure members with more experience will chime in but like i said just a thought while your at this stage.
