He seemed adament, that it ws a special edition, and mentioned an old rally drivers name (cant remember who now)

I thought it was bull at the time, but not being 100% sure i didnt want to mug myself off.

Subaru have never made a twin turbo PRODUCTION IMPREZA.

Why do people feel the need to lie about owning cars, just because he saw i had one.

Just dont understand it :confused:

I think this was a common mis-conception of the 22b, bit of an urban legend among those who are less informed than us ;)

TWIN turbo, there is one, but i doubt he would have had one.
and its not an impreza.

so yes he was:)

Well mines twin turbo,

One directly attached to the engine that works automatically and one with a switch in the cabin with four level setting yes four! and even an auto mode, you can really here it wind up at the '4' setting :)

258 BHP. :)

cheers bubba po,

that makes sense now, what is the conversion equation?

wilko44 04 November 2005 11:20 PM

I had a similar one with a guy at work.
He swears blind that his brothers impreza is the fastest around because it's supercharged!
Apparently he had it specially imported from Belgium!

ndwall 04 November 2005 11:50 PM

Once agin i doubt it, as he claims to have owned it 5/6 years ago, and AFAIK twin scrolls are a recent addition to Scoobs, but stand to be corrected if wrong

I think its pretty clear he is talking crap now, as i saw him again tonight and was asking a few questions re: quarter mile etc, and the answers (if acurate) would make Andy F cry his heart out

Pretty dull Dyno sequence covered up by a horrible audio track. Only decent bit is right at the end. Does look to be a piece of work though....

Not sure about the length of that SC belt..!

WRXPete 05 November 2005 03:24 PM

Slightly off topic but isn't there a plan, along with the Impreza coming with a 2.5 litres engine as standard, to start dropping the Legacy's 3litre twin turbo in the Impreza from 2006/7?? Sounds like fun to me:thumb:

no your correct, these came in in 2003 on the JDM STi's, no other scoob afaik except the twin turbo legacy had twin turbo's.
