Welcome to the forum!

As for turbo'ing your outback, you should have just got a WRX wagon, but if you really want to turbo the OB, just find a wrecked bugeye WRX and swap everything over. but for the "kit" you mentioned, it sounds like it has everything covered almost, but I'd talk to one of the local shops. You can find them in the "Vender" catagory here on the forum. Find the one closest to you and give them a Private meesage. Hope that helps you a little.

I agree dont bother with a turbo kit. The NA has a higher compression ratio so you would have to screw with that.

next there is the sesonrs and harness you would have to redo.

Getting a wrecked turbo car is the best way. Pull the harness ecu motor ect ect and then you are set.

You can build up a NA motor to be pretty close to a WRX and without the lag. Welcome to i-club.
