The turbo won't be that expensive..

I really can't remember if the flange layout on the 2.2 is the same as the other EJ series.. I believe it may be, if that is the case, then just go with a TD-04 from a wrx.. Small turbo that will probably be just a tad bigger than the stock 2.2t turbo. Which at this point in the evening I can't remember. People will get rid of these for about 100-200. If you have problems finding one I will be more than happy to talk to my mechanic who usually had a few on the shelf.. Very knowledgeable guy.. Look them up precisiontuning in Brick NJ. Owner's name is rich..I say all this because he can help sourcing parts.. and is very technically smart on subaru's. From complete motor and gearbox rebuilds to custom work. Just a good source of info, and an FYI if run into subaru specific issues. There are folks on the boards that know some, and he can help with what we don't know.

The pictures did not come thru at work but now that I am home, I must say I like the way its turning out..

Keep us posted and if you have any more question fire away..

Lastly, really get on the suby boards, as you can do it on the cheap there.. also that block is a very good block for a turbo build. If its in good shape, would make a good starting point. I know you want to do it cheap, and the SOHC NA route, 2.2, would be the easiest as these are common motors, also there was a 2.5 SOHC for a year or two, that you may be able to find..
