Intercooler off a Forester XT. Got a great deal on it over at the USMB... cost me $50
Think it'll fit my Turbo Legacy better than a WRX one will?
Check this pic fo a comparison of the two ICs.

Nice!, But watch that bypass valves clearance with the throttle cables.

Looks like the only serious problems I'll have is re-routing the BOV. It wont fit where it is now, because it strikes the Throttle Cable.
I think I'm going to have my friend fab. up an adapter of some sort with a bend on it, so I can place the BOV underneath the IC or something.

It looks kinda like there's foam insulation wrapped around it secured with electrical tape.

nice find, and at a good price to boot!
that'll fit well since it's narrower and thinner than the wrx one

It seems like it might fit ok, but the BOV is a big issue though. The WRX's BOV is further to the right, so it clears the Throttle Linkage.
And as for the hose between the Turbo and IC, I think it's wrapped for insulation (since it sits so close to the turbo) to avoid getting it hot, or even melting it. That's just my best guess.

the packing foam will catch fire.

not to hi-jack your thread, but here is how it fits into the engine space. i still have to re-rout the coolant tank but everything pretty much fits up. its my next project that's on my list. I just got done installing a new crate motor in my Legacy along with a 5 speed conversion. this is an awsome car!!! see if this works

J-MoNeY, thank you for posting the pics for me. As for the engine, that had 0 miles on it. It came from a crate. i'm working on putting a '05 legacy turbo on it with the intercooler. couple more weeks it should be done.
