I was just at the subaru dealer and saw the new legacy. Nice ride. The engine looks a little different and has a smaller looking IC than the STI. I asked what was the difference and all they said was a smaller turbo. Thats why its only 250hp instead of 300hp like the STI. The car looks tight, I would roll in one if I didn't have a WRX. The sticker was a little over 28k. Not too bad for a fast, sleek looking car

There's more difference than just that...you wouldn't be able to just swap out the turbo.

The cylinder walls aren't as thick on the Legacy compared to the STI. I believe there's also internal differences (stronger crankshaft, pistons, rods, etc.)
