Wheel compatibility.
It's the other way round, the 48's will sit further away from the centre, I know the 55's won't clear the foz rear struts without spacers. Which is annoying as the foz is the only one to use this offset

Wheel compatibility.
I guess so, what does the sticker say on the door jamb re rim sizes available ? The legacy uses a 55mm offset and the foz is 48mm

Service + more power.
Worth dropping Andy forrest an email he's up your neck of the woods and is well respected, let him know what your looking for power wise and he'll advise. Fuel pump, filter & exhaust + map would be stage 1 like dave says no point going for a turbo upgrade at a later date, get a td05 or one of the vf series turbo and get it all on at once.

Classic 95-97 brake calipers
Possibly mate, they need to be the type that have the sticker on and not the raised subaru logo, been told these will fit the standard wheel. Insurance and tax next month though [emoji26]

anyone use a forester as a family car?
2l turbo If you want big space then go for a legacy, but the boot is ample enough for two of us plus an 18month old and pram travel cot etc http://uk.subaruownersclub.com/forums/index.php?/topic/9698-my-foz

Not really, mine returns 26-34 mpg and puts a smile in my face every time I drive it

What to do while the engine is out?
You could always speak with api and ask what it would take with a standard build or what it would need to get to 350, while it's all apart would be daft not to if it's not much more

Yep it's awesome ! Loads of room for carrying all associated family crap, all weather capability and a genuine sleeper of a car, surprises many

Legacy type
Twinscrolls have a split in the up pipe feeding the turbo in two stages, one feeds the turbo at lower rpm then the other feeds at higer rpm

Re tune
Depends what your ecu will allow, mine only had two options open source or a standalone replacement ecu. Yours can be re flashed directly, one of the software companies developed the software and you pay 150 for the licence then map, others like carberry are again open source so you pay for the map

Re tune
Which bit tom ? Carberry is essentially the same as the other mapping software but no licence required, hence why ecutek and others require you to part with 150quid for the privilage

Re tune
Drop duncan graham (racedynamix) an email see if he does carberry software, or tell him what your looking for and he'll advise you of options. He travels all over the country too
