[QUOTE="frkkevin, post: 4144547, member: 572206"] IMO if your going to boost a legacy do it right and do the motor swap. The N/A motor will not hold up on higher boost, safely I would stick with 8-9psi and no more. Just find yourself an STI motor and pull it with an ECU. Subaru is all tuning so be aware when modding one it gets expensive quick. Get on NASIOC and look for the motor. If you want to use the stock 2.5i motor and make it worth while you will have to do a completely rebuild or else you will end up with the possibility of a blown motor and a lot of wasted time. Btw, I own a 2005 Legacy GT. Currently Stage II TDC tuned running only 17.5psi. About to go Stage III, just waiting for my fuel pump and some plugs. Already have my FP 20g and WBR FMIC waiting to go in with some DW 740cc injectors. Oh on another note, go here [URL="http://www.legacygt.com/forums"]http://www.legacygt.com/forums[/URL] Might be able to source some parts or ask people if it was worth boosting an N/A. I think there was a kit someone mentioned on there. But like I said, nothing Subaru is cheap. [/QUOTE]
