Its not really hard at all. Are you thinking of leaving it in the stock Legacy location, or the wrx location?
You just have to do a bit of hose running/plumbing to make it work. And devise some sort of bracket to hold it in place.

Well here's the thing I wanna replace it but because it's all busted to hell and I've never seen one of the plastic ones not glued back together.
Anyways, in the future I'm thinking of installing a WRX intercooler so I was thinking about re-locating it to the location where the washer resevoir is and in turn re-loctaing that too.
What do you think? Anything to look out for?
Check out my post in engines too about the rebuilt, if you have any tips I'de love to hear them. Thanks for the speedy response

I think its way easier to move it to the wrx location, all you need is a bit of pipe to get it there. No need to relocate the washer resevoir, or anything else for that matter, that just seems like work. Here is where it is on my motor.
