I know there may not be a lot of people on here who will be interested in this for their car, but it will be nice to have more options for people who want more power, and a modern shifting mid-engine transaxle. These pictures are of a 6 speed version, but the 5 speed will use the same adapter plate and flywheel.

The welds look good. Do you think the long tubes will hurt spool? And I wonder if water from the wheel will hurt the turbo housing.

THe system is a little longer than the aftermarket Subie equal length headers, but not a whole lot longer once you take into consideration the length of the up-pipe. There's really no other place for the turbo to go in the chassis anyway. Besides, it worked on the 917/30 didn't it?
