Bolt on Turbos for 2007 Legacy GT?

[Clam129]

I've tried searching the forum for any bolt on turbos but couldn't find any information as most of the topics were about early legacies before 2000. I'm thinking about getting this TD05H-20G from Redline performance for $495. I'm not too keen on fabricating the brackets since I don't trust my own welding for such a crucial joint. I'm just wondering if that would be a direct bolt on or suggestions for any other turbos? I was looking for a VF52 but they're going for around 1.5K, I'm just looking for something that doesn't have too much lag but is able to give good stable boost top end. Cheers

Neither will really work for you since you have a JDM Legacy with the unique Legacy twinscroll layout

 

Only upgrade option for these that keeps the same flange layout is the Mamba and Kinugawa TD04HLA-20T which is a moderate upgrade, talking 200-220kw territory at best.

You willing to get a different intercooler? That opens up the options a bit if you don't need the 2-bolt compressor outlet

Yeah I'd be getting a front mount inter cooler later on if that helps

I've been doing the supporting mods slowly but I'm getting ready for a turbo swap soon. I'm probably going for a kinugawa td05 20g twin scroll but checking on forums if my stock block is up for it.

Whats your power goals? Might be better off with an 18g for response. @evowrx knows most of the ins and outs with these turbo's. Was originally looking at putting a TD06SL2 on mine

Youre going to be limited by what housings/chra you can get to suit your nasty flanges. Personally I think a TD05 based hybrid is on the edge of your engines limits. 

 

If the shortblock was stronger a TD06sl2 20g is a strong combo for 240-260wkw. Check out the mamba range too they like to mate GT compressors with TD06sl2 turbines which I think would work well.
