ok, i have a 1991, 4 door legacy turbo, andi can hear t when i drive, but when i open the hood, i cant seem to ever find it, can anyone tell me where to look, or mabye even a pick, that would halp the most.

Look at the rear passenger side, underneath the chimney that mates with the hood scoop.

Yeah, like he said.

Whoa, that looks oddly familiar. LOL =)

Funny that

Im a bad, bad ,man!!

is that pic from a turbo legacy, casue i dont see the inlet for the hood scoop?

so basically its under that air inlet right

Are you sure its not an N/A? lol.. sorry I had to

The intake goes in one side and comes out the other and the exhaust comes up from underneath it. Looks kind of like a hair dryer or snail shell.

The picture Michael posted of Matt's engine bay doesn't include the chimney that your car probably has. But that's where the turbo is.

Pop your hood. Get on the passenger side. Grab the pipe that curves down and follow it up and forward to the front of your car. Under a black thingy you should feel a big round piece of metal. Wala, turbo.

I wouldn't suggest doing this while the car is hot. But then again...

ok, i took a look, and i think i saw it, although it just looks like a pipe, not raeally a turbo., too much crap in the way.

Go drive the car to get it warmed up. Touch things in the engine bay. The part that burns your hand the most is the turbo.

But really, the black plastic thing is probably in the way, so you can't see the turbo shape you're looking for.

you sure you know what a turbo is? really it is hard to see it with the chimney in.. here is the chimney http://img41.exs.cx/img41/7703/cupb28ot.jpg the little red arrow shows where the turbo is.

Oh ya, its right behind the coffee mug.

hehe... you're confusing him with your modified engine bay photos, I doubt he's got a coffee mug


OK - your Legacy has a hood scoop, correct? (if not, you've got an N/A - sorry!) Examine this hood scoop and see where the air it scoops flows to. It's directed to all flow over the "chimney" (which has a nice warning plate on it about heat - as it is the turbo's heat shield) and cool the turbo at higher speeds. So you can imagine that if you were to feel around (while the car's cold) and find the chimney's mounting bolts and removed them, and pulled the chimney off, you'd be looking at the turbo.

Hope this helps.

I have one of those superchargers they sell on ebay for $69.00 and let me tell you that thing flys. I hooked it up to the battery via relay and I also installed a stiffening cap so it spools up really fast.

I'm running 15 pounds of boost.....and a sticker to prove it.

umm... BS? Is this the same legacy that's all fucked up and you wanted to get rid of on ebay?

BS Flag wins again! Booya!

Why even say something like that in this thread? The guy is asking where a part of his car is, and you come in with something hella random that has no relevance for no reason at all? What is the point of that?

Why would some arsehole come into my SE meet and greet thread and say "OCC is worthless."

Mine was humor. Get it? Got it? Goooooood. It's a joke...just laugh. Relax.......

So because someone said something that you didn't like in some thread you made you're going to go around trolling other peoples threads? You make no sense. Whatever.

IT WAS A TURBO JOKE!!! I guess some people are just too tense. The same people that have a stick in their arse from USMB.

Now now boys, lets play nice Mmmkaayyyy.
