I would highly recommend visiting Legacy Central and the bbs there ( http://bbs.legacycentral.org ) as it's THE place from first-generation Legacy owners.

It's a great car, lots of potential and lots of fun.

TMICs are hard to fit in because of the odd angle on the output from the turbo. The AC lines are also a bit in the way. Saab intercoolers are the best fit, but a FMIC is the best overall solution, especially if a larger turbo is in the future.
