Hi everyone -1st post, im on the RSliberty forums in Aus.

I'm going to be doing this exact swap next week ie JDM 97 TT 4eat into a JDM Series 1 Legacy GT..so i'll let you know how it goes.
I have been told by a tech guru that the only difference is the transfer housing ie 65/35 rear bias and i will need to get a WRX TCU to control it. (Anyone have one lying around?!)
Otherwise everything else will bolt on and plug in.
So option 1 is getting the WRX TCU and get the benefit of the rear bias.
Option 2 (if i dont get hold of a TCU) is to use my existing (series 1) transfer housing and my TCU.
Option 3 if all else fails is a fully manual switch system my auto guy has devised which taps straight into the shift control solenoids on the box enabling a fully manual, TCU free box ... bit dodge but essentially the same as a manual just switches instead of stick and no clutch...looks like an oven dial!
It seems a bit of a hack job but hopefully will work out as i got the box real cheap.
Also have just strapped on a VF12 (had a VF10)so i am upping the stall on the new box to help combat the lag.
