twisty Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 i think th twin turbo set up is only right hand drive, its all covered in detail in the stickies at the top of the page. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blankdeluxe Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 No TT for us in the states. Read the stickies, there are a bunch of other options for turbo swaps but if you cant afford 6k in engine/tranny/wire/ecu/tune stuff then you might want to re think a turbo swap.

Sludgeroo Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 All of this is covered. You aren't the first nor the last to mess with 2nd gens. Due to alot of USDM design the ej20tt (ej20r is the real name), is mere impossible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sludgeroo Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 Just read this.... http://legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php/second-gen-aftermarket-parts-and-upgrade-guide-superceded-147261.html And search "bg bd legacy" or "jdm legacy" in ebay. Also check rpmgarage.com every now and again. The only thing you can do cosmetic wise is JDM trinkets or getting creative. you'll notice alot of GC impreza and GD impreza/wrx things fit this car. If you are doing a turbo swap, expect to change out subframes with a turbo car and merge harnesses in the least. Depending on what you want out of it ( showing that 2nd gens are nothing to f!ck with) you'll need extensive fuel/engine management. Some guys on here have the funds to do these swaps. Some don't. Just don't get ahead of yourself and you'll be ok. Looking forward to seeing what you come up with.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
