That guy with the turbo wagon got his parts from a few places.
His turbokit came from Minnam Racing in Canada which is no longer in business. Andrew Nam (the 'nam in Minnam) is now AMR Racing (http://www.carmodifications.com/) sells a twin turbo kit 'supposedly but no-one has one yet.
His intercooler came from RalliSpec (http://www.rallispec.com).
His Nitrous system was a dry manifold setup, kit #5122 from Nitrous Oxide Systems.
The pulley was an Unorthodox Racing System pulley.
His Legacy ECU (not needed) could be found on crashed up Legacys in the junkyards.
His valve body (Hydrosystem) was done at Level 10 Performance by Pat Barret.
The transmission upgrade he had was from some place called Benchmark Transmission where they upgraded some of his clutch disks and supposedly his torque converter.
Do you plan on running nitrous with a turbokit like he did? I think that guy is just plain crazy. :eek:
Anything else? :D

wow really appreciate the fast response !!!
I have checked out the former minnam racing site....looks like their kits are going to be great !
but alas ....I'm not going with any NOS or turbo system in this car....I found a great ej25 from a 2001 forester...along with all the attending goodies to put it in my wagon ( wife blew up the ej 22 so why not upgrade right?) I wasn't really thrilled with the shift performance of the tranny with the 2.2 I can't imagine it being any better with the 2.5...all I plan on doing is some good n/a stuff in this car it's a daily driver and I don't want to sacrifice any dependability or drivability probably the most radical thing I'll do is get the intake extrude honed the same time I put new heads on it...after of course an intake, headers, cat, and cat back and of course cams
COBB tuning here I come !!
does level 10 offer kits or do you need to send the valve body to them?
I am a former tech with a fair amount of auto trans. work under my belt.....ase certified and all....:D any of the work I do to this car except wheel alignment and tires will be done by me...
who knows...I may ned up doing a turbo kit anyway !!!
Thanks again

The best way to find out about Level 10 is to give them a call. Pat can give you all the juicy details or talk to a local tranny shop. They may be able to help also.
As far as your EJ22 blowing up, I was waiting for that to happen me. My wife had her credit card ready and all but it never happened. I was kinda waiting for it to go so I could do the EJ22 to EJ25 swap and get into the 12's......or maybe 11's :eek: . Oh well! Damn these strong engines of ours. Curses! :D
