February 12, 20197 yr I have always wondered.. Are they the same engine sizes? Is the turbo just a bolt-on = more power? Is the hood a functional air induction? Any gearing, suspension, tranny, exhaust differences? What is the HP and torque difference?
February 12, 20197 yr They are completely different. The turbo has more in common with a Forester XT or an 06/07 WRX than it has with a non-turbo Baja. Go lookup the specs. There's no need to reiterate all that. It is not a bolt on. GD
February 13, 20197 yr catz - GD is right, most everything under the hood is quite a bit different and of course, different computer running everything. premium fuel needed too. about 90% of hood scoop air goes thru the intercooler, the rest is split and directed to turbo cooling. check www.cars101.com for Subaru specs going back many years.

February 26, 20197 yr They are the same displacement engine, and the same basic engine layout. But different in almost every detail. Turbo is DOHC, non turbo is SOHC. Turbo has a semi-closed deck block and lower compression. Non-turbo is open deck. Yes, hood scoop feeds an intercooler. Transmission is similar, but different. Gearing and AWD differences. Suspension is similar, but stiffer, etc.
