kws Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 This is awesome. Love it when engine swaps go against the norm like this. Bet it twists some undies of the "purists". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seedy Al Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 Yes very much so! Also I would. I have a super strong passion of hatred for subaru engines after the last few weeks. Atleast it won't smell like burning oil and coolant from blown head gaskets 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plox Posted December 1, 2016 Share Posted December 1, 2016 You ruined it... nah sounds cool, B4's are great cars but the TT system sucks.
