tt engine and box out



2 of the tiniest turbos i've ever seen!



replacement dump pipes bolted up with new subaru gaskets.  Also changed the timing belt while the engine was out.  But i didn't change the belt tensioner, which i'm kicking myself now, cos it needs doing. 

I transplanted the entire wiring loom from the halfcut, its the best way to guarentee everything will work properly



Ventilation system back in



Dash mostly back together, love the grandpa spec fake woodgrain!



Whoever cut this car in half decided to cut the door looms, instead of just unplugging them... no idea why. had to splice in the door plugs from the original loom



Bolted up the vacuum tank and remote transmission filter.



The only thing that didn't fit straight together was the factory dump pipes didn't clear the extra bracing that the outback has in the engine bay.  I had to remove the heat and noise sheild and grind a few mm off the back of the pipe seam to fit it in.



Hard to get a photo of where the exhaust doesn't clear.  The white bracket is only in the outback, not in the legacy cut.  Must be extra strength part of the factory lift i guess.



EJ206 tt sitting between the rails.  Man it is a tight fit to get it in there!  There is only a few mm clearance to the chassis rail on each side of it.  I accidently broke the 02 sensor when it snagged on something.



Finished!  Just need to get the bonnet sprayed, get a new 02 sensor, install the walbro pump i've got and take it over the pits.

Welcome Tim

Looks like a fun job, always wanted to do something like that but use a 2.5lt sti engine

what's BBOD? is it meant to be VOD(valley of death)?

very nice, impressive outlook from the garage. great to hear the tt set up working a treat, they are known for trouble but really the upgrade from 2.5na is huge and the power is more than enough for a wagon. well done mate.
