Twin Turbo Legacy???
Hi all, been a while since I've been on here. Still remembered my log in though!!
I've been trawling the net trying to find information relating to Legacy "twin Turbos". I've owned 2 single turbo uk Legacy models and a 98MY Impreza turbo but I don't really know anything about the history of the twin turbo legacy's.
Could someone give me a breif or detailed summary of the models/ model years/ performance/figures etcand if they are all imports. If anyone has owned one i'd really appriciate advice on which one to go for. My only other worry is can you get insurance and parts for them.
Many thanks Matt.

I've owned two single turbo versions (Well one was a Liberty in Aus and one Legacy in NZ) and test drove a twin GTB. Awesome! If money (Fuel) was not a problem, I'd get another one.

I had a twin turbo RS. Didnt like the V.O.D. at all.
The turbos dont overlap and therefore you have no turbo from 4000 to 5000.
It was a bit annoying when overtaking, change from 4th to 3rd and pull out to overtake a bus and.........nothing.
I will agree it was a beast when the second turbo came in. 4th gear at 5000 in the RS was llike 3rd in my Impreza.
Thankfully I wrote it off then bought an Impreza with the cash.
Each to their own though.......
