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.

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

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

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!

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....

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

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.
