Sorry for the delay, been really busy this week both at work and at home.

brujo65: The intercooler isn't plumbed yet but I'll see if I can get some pics tonight.

badassbug: I went with the subie swap because it was both cheaper and more reliable. $1000 gets me a stock base motor that makes around 275-300hp. After pricing out type 4 motors with turbo options that could withstand regular track days the choice was easy. Add to that the much larger after market support for the subie vs the type 4 and that was the nail in the coffin.

That being said, the subaru is definitely not the easy route by any stretch of the word. It would have been far easier had I gone with the type 4. I still have my old race motor and a spare type 4 kicking around that I plan to use in another street bug someday.
