I think most Subaru turbo's have/had direct ignition. what i see in that pic is bunch of (stock looking) plug wires... Also, if you look carefully you can follow the intake tract and notice there's no turbo. and, even the earlier ones w/o the scoop had water-to-air intercoolers i believe.
In any case, I just can't believe people are using these cheesy tactics to sell stuff on ebay.

time for you guys to learn some stuff...
Well kids that is infact a 2.2 turbo engine. here are a oouple ways you can tell. the intake does indeed go to a turbo, although it does not have an intercooler. i am not sure what models IC's where in, but i have worked on a few early Legacy turbos, including rebuilding the turbo, they did not have an ic. the hood scoop had a duct that went to the metal rectangle you can see inthe background. that is a heat shield, but also dumps the air from the scoop onto the turbo. and one more way you can always tell is by the placement of the anti freeze resivoir. on the turbos the cap is not on the radiator, but further back on the DS.

LOL
Hahaha.
Lets see a dyno chart on that baby.

haha, yeah they did not have huge power. although they can be built pretty up pretty good. there is a lot of useless junk in the intake tract, and as we all know, not all had ic's. most are autos too, and full boost is barely noticable. however there some 5 spds. out there. i worked on one, and does drive better than auto. if you want a good base for a cheap rally car, find an early legacy turbo 5spd,
