Hello everyone I'm new to this club, I have just brought myself a Subaru Impreza sport wagon,

It's a lovely car brilliant to drive it's just missing that one thing I love and that's the turbo

I know this is a common question and people get annoyed with the post sorry!!!

But my question today is can I conver my N/A engine into a turbo without spending to much money

Or can I just buy another engine,Loom,Ecu and just install and drive? And what's the rough price it's going to cost me?

No it's very complicated really , not worth it as your insurance will be more than a normal uk turbo

I agree with matt I'm afraid it's far to much effort and the insurance would be more expensive than just buying a turbo version in the first place .

It can be done but you'd need a complete donor wagon for parts .

Ecu

Loom

Struts

Arbs

Drivetrain

Brakes

Engine and auxiliaries .

And plenty of free time and space .

If you can afford to insure a turbo why not just buy one and fit the good bits off the sport

Ok brilliant, thanks for your time and advice, just I'm 21 and my insurance is sky high, so i am going to wait a year before getting a uk turbo thanks again :)

Wotcha and welcome - as a S.O.C. member you get a discount with Adrian Flux - why not give them a call and see if you can improve on your existing quotes?

Had my first scoob at 21 , I paid 1200 but that was a few years ago

I have the GX sport 2.0L! (Y) I was wondering (might be a daft question but...) if it uses a boxer engine or not?? :/

Im 99% sure it has mate but pop us a picture up

It does you just don't get the burble due to the equal length headers

Cheers guys! Now looking at where the spark plugs are, it makes sense.
