EJ205 swap in 2002 Legacy?

Featured Replies

I heard that someone in the local Subaru club is selling a nice EJ205 motor for a good price and I was going to pull the 2.5 out of my legacy anyways to change throw out bearing, head gasket, and timing belt... So I'm thinking I might just make myself a turbo wagon. Ive never dealt with any turbocharged motors before, and I was wondering if anyone knows what else I'll have to throw into my legacy to accommodate the 205? Most of the swap info I've found online involves 90s legacys so I was hoping y'all would help me figure out what I'm getting into, thanks!

need 02-04 wrx wiring, and you will want a 5spd. I think a stock ej205 will be ok with the power

Just found a pretty good resource for this swap, but once again deals with older legacys

One thing i'm unclear about is whether or not my stock 5 speed trans/clutch is going to be okay with the 205, this guy says "probably."

Any idea what the cost of a proper ECU plus tuning would be?
