<<i have found a legacy awd turbo and was wonderin what to expect from it.>>

 

expect what the previous owner put into it: good maintenance/ good performance. bad maintenance/ bad performance

 

<<what kind of performance could you expect from this?...>>

 

Horsepower 160 @ 5600 rpm

Torque 181 @ 2800 rpm

 

 

<<can you upgrade the turbo?>>

 

with time and money, anything is possible

 

<<is the awd system solid in these early legacy's?>>

 

all the Subaru AWD systems are solid

ok thanks for the response......what would you expect to pay for this?....im thinkin 3500 would be fair......they are askin 4k.....do you know where i can get info on motor build up for this?....thanks again....

I think 3500 is good if it's in good condition. If it's moderate condition, I probably wouldn't pay more then 3k at the most.

 

Check out www.bbs.legacycentral.org for tons of info about the turbo legacy.
