Re: Ej23
There will be a decent amount of work involved.
I don't know what ej22 you have, because you didn't list what car you have. I don't know what ej20 you're looking at because you also didn't list which one you were looking at.

Re: Ej23
It can work with some modifications to misc exhaust and intake configurations.

Re: Ej23
Hi, spend some time in here: http://bbs.legacycentral.org/viewtopic.php?t=38247 It covers DOHC head swap and complete dohc engine swap, from the mechanical side.
If you have a left hand drive, the exhaust from the twin turbo will interfere with your steering column. If you have a right hand drive, no fitment issue. You'll need a twin turbo crossmember, or custom up pipes made regardless.
If you want to run any engine as a single turbo, you can get away with just swapping in a turbo crossmember, and the up and down pipe will fit, or have custom pipes made. There is no exhausts that fit the 1st gen legacy, except for those that are made for it specifically. Any exhaust you find can be made to work by a welder, time and money.
A phase 1 SOHC intake manifold (1990-1998) will not fit phase 1 dohc heads (1989-1998) heads. Nor will any other year sohc intake on phase 1 dohc heads..
The wiring is another story. Any turbo swap will involve ton of wiring.

Re: Ej23
It ran exactly the same as the 22t, just less torque. Maybe a teensy bit more top end. But like I said, it's a waste of time, because the 2.0L dohc motors really shine with a bigger turbos and proper tuning (or even a normal ej20g ecu).
IMO, you'll get a lot more for your money by keeping your stock engine and getting a robtune from robtune.com (and upgrading your turbo, injectors and adding an intercooler). That's what I ended up doing - went back to a 22t and did the mentioned upgrades.
