so we were able to get the engine, drive shaft, rear diff, and all the axles out. all of the axels came out fine except for one major PITA corner...i'm going to have to pick up another hub assembly.

where do you plan on mounting the turbo? The JDM configuration might not work so well with a EJ20?

stock usdm location. the cold side will be clocked 180* though after we get teh fmic hooked up.

[mosc]

glad there's room for that.

Are you going to bring this down to porkies once it's done so I can drool over it?

[GrimmSpeed]

got the dash completely out including all the wiring. also basically got everything out of the engine bay including the brake lines so i can begin running the new lines.

you doing an auto to manual swap?

[Circle_Nine]

Wow. I have the same exact Impreza in a coupe and I'm trying to do the same thing. What do you have to do with the ECU to get it to pass inspection???? I dont know a lot about making a NA car into a turbo and when dealing with the ECU and inspection. I'm only 16 XD. I'd like to contact you on this for some information because my car like i said is the exact same year, model, and even color all down to everything but the 2dr.

That is going to be 1 awesome ride, i'm glad you live up north and not here in Fl cause i wouldn't want to come across that on the road. I feel bad for all of those sports cars up there. Your going to eat them alive!!! Keep us posted!!!
