Definatly if you are running a high comp block, get an intercooler! The Saab 900 IC is almost a direct bolt in: The inlet and outlet are both 2 3/8" outside diameter, which is the same size as the intake manifolds outside diameter. The difference with and without are night and day. -Brian

Should be no difference between the two. -Brian

Wow this is kinda shocking. I know tony, he built bumpers and racks for me and i never had any trouble. I've met him a few times and he's a standup guy. I havent talked to him in a while, didnt even know he was still in the fabricating business. Im sure you will get your other $400 back. If I lived any closer, i'd be happy to help you, just so this would be settled and clear his name. Did you do the transaction over e-mail or what? As far as I know, he hasnt even been an active member in months. -Brian

I vote no on painting the rims.

Take your downpipe off, and grab the turbine. See if there is any free play in the shaft at all. Move it in and out, up and down. The thing should be rock solid. If its not, the turbo is bad. Do you have a boost gauge? Dont rely on the turbo light... i'd get a gauge. -Brian

WOW ROB!! Just WOW... im speachless.

That turbo Legacy is beautiful. Welcome to the club. The guys over at bbs.legacycentral.org cater to us Turbo Legacy owners. If you get it, you should stop over there and say hi too. -Brian

Timing belts are simple. I would offer him $900 cash and spend $40 on a ebay timing kit (i think thats what i paid for one). Dont let that thing get parted. -Brian

Check your timing. I believe I had mine set at 22 degree's in the RX with no problems. Any higher and I got horrible pinging. -Brian

It should. If you got a wagon, you'll need to use Wagon struts & springs. If you got a sedan then you gotta use sedan parts. If your Legacy is FWD you need FWD parts, and if yours is AWD you need AWD parts. -Brian

That doesn't mean it wont pass the sniffer. Which is the real hurdle. Of course You can pull one over the eyes of the stupid tech... but, its the computer thats hard to fool. -Brian

It already doesnt pass smog, so adding a weber will only help keep it idling and running good. I havent figured out how to get tags for it just yet. -Brian

I used zip ties when I rebuilt my EA82T. -Brian

Did you use the EA81 adapter mick?

hey welcome back man. I miss my RX too But I dont miss the EA82T. I replaced the car with a Legacy Turbo wagon and needless to say Im not kicking myself. I have never heard of anyone running Nitrus on their EA series. I have always dreamed of building a EA81 using the EA81T heads, and replacing the fuel injectors with nitrus injectors. -Brian

Gen1 or Gen2?

Really, a month isnt long. Top the fuel tank off with fresh gas, top off the engine with oil and make sure there is still air in the tires. the car should be just fine. -Brian

I would turn the key and check if it starts or not. if it does, then you have nothing to worry about. if it doesn't, check the battery -Brian

hahaha... skip I like the single tip better than the dual tip look. One other reason I did this was cause one of the dual tips on my stock muffler had lost its tip. -Brian

Believe me... my stereo is PLENTY loud And with the car being an automatic I can keep the revs low enough to keep disturbance down, but where is the fun in that? -Brian

All it is, is a piece of pipe welded past the CV with a tip welded to it. So, in effect, there is no muffler at all. Just straight pipe. I got it from a friend. He ran it on his '93 impreza. It bolted right up, the hangers lined up too except for the hangers at the tip of the exhaust. Those are about 4" too short, and the entire exhaust is about 4" too short... so the tip doesnt even reach the bumper. -Brian

Did those part numbers work for you? What did you end up getting for it? -Brian

I live in Citrus Heights. Its a part of Sacramento County. -Brian

Yeah, i always brush that curb when I pull into my driveway The ride hieght is stock. The tires arent low profile, they are 205/55R16's. Thanks for the compliments guys. -Brian
