Question ej20tt swap into a 97 Legacy GT, would it have the same difficultys as swapping in RS

I am possibly getting a 97 Legacy GT 2.5 soon and I was just wondering if the 2.0 twin turbo boxer motor would fit better in it than when someone trys to swap it into an RS, because I looked into an RS that had been swapped but the car has since been put up for sale again, don't know condition of turbos this time but I'm staying away from it, I know the twin turbo is in the Legacys over in Japan so I was just wondering if it would fit in a US spec legacy? without the problems found swapping it into an RS, I don't remember what those problems were but I remember something about one of the turbos having to be in some spot behind a headlight and possible relocation of something else, basically it was a risky setup and could get messy, and of course very expensive. So 2.0 TT into a 97 Legacy GT, similar problem as RS or easier fit?
