I've got a simple question - Will the newer model EJ25 Turbo engine & manual transmission drop in nicely to my '00 Legacy GT (say from a 2005+ GT)? Can I reuse my existing wiring harness and ECU or will I need to change that as well? Are all the engine and transmission mounts still the same?

00 legacy needs a new crossmember from a turbo baja, and im pretty sure you need to hack the wiring since its all one peice. If you use the 6 speed, you are probably going to need the rear diff and axles. If you are going to go ahead w/ it i want to see the finish products..

Yes it ALL fits, even if you wanted STi stuff in there. But you will need a conversion, you can't simply drop it in and make it run, at least not if you want it to pass CA smog.
