Black on black with a 5 speed

Thank you so much. This is a great list and some stuff I can now look up and get parts moving. I will update this as I get started on the project for sure. Blackobxt it’s a lot of info and I am excited. I have wanted to do something with this but was nervous and overwhelmed and didn’t know where to start. This gives me enough to get started. I like the way you think about the why not your in there already and I would say our philosophies are very similar on that. I think that the IAG short block might be the direction is head. I am sure I will have more questions. Thank you and happy new year to all

I do not want to keep the short block I have. I believe that when the first turbo went and it wasn’t taken care of properly that is what caused the problem I am dealing with currently. I do want to set myself up to build for power. This is going to be a fun/project car for spirited driving all year round. The $5k-$6k budget is okay with me, just want to do this once. Sounds like starting point is sourcing a short block. I am going to start looking for a reputable machine shop for the heads. I am in Washington state if anyone has a recommendation my ears are open.

I do not have any budget yet.. This will be my 3rd complete engine rebuild but first Subaru. I do all my own mechanical work and keep a modified 6.0 powerstroke on the road. My plan for the car is to be a quick fun car and to basically turn it into a legacy gt. I understand there is a lot of modifications available to this platform so whatever I do I want to start strong so I can go from there if that makes sense.

New to forums. Have had a 05 outback xt with 5mt for a while. Engine needs rebuild and am looking for information on where to start. Previous owner had the turbo fail and the dealer only replaced the turbo and changed fluids. I found this out after I had purchased the car. I believe the turbo has failed again. I have evidence of metal in the oil. I want to get the car back in the road and learn about this Subaru community. I want to rebuild this car the right way and not skip any steps. Any advice starting out would be awesome! Thank you
