Found out from a dealership that I can order a LGT(takes 4 to 6 weeks). It would be nice to have a brand new one and do the break-in on it, get it drinking premium oils right away

It's (nut)sacrilegious but I have always wanted to get an old nova or mustang and throw a skyline motor or 2JZ in it or get a 510 and put a EJ25(sti) in it! I don't mind mixing... LS1 RX7's/240's are boss as well. Has anyone researched COBB's focus? it's almost all MazdaSpeed parts LOL I guess it's not to weird since ford motorCO owns mazda...

2010 + have a different turbo location and EL headers which blows because no rumble but the turbo spool is way quicker do you win some you lose some...

And you can always build unequal. LOL. It doesn't have to be off by much.
They changed a TON in the new motors... TON. Finally went with chains instead of belts. Woot.

They changed the turbo location in 2008 I thought? I know they changed the mounting style. A lot more plastic in there now.

05-09 Lgt's have the same turbo,intake manifold,intercooler setup as 2009-current wrx's ... 2010 + LGT's have the turbo mounted between the engine and radiator. Search stage 2 2010 legacy gt and you'll see pics of the new setup it's a trip!
