Upgrading a 2007 Legacy GT Turbo

Turbo_still_avo420 For anyone looking to upgrade the turbo in their Subaru, this is a must-see video! Sean Sexton of Rallitek Performance shares some quick tips that could save you hours in the garage. Of course, swapping a turbo isn't the simplest of jobs, so be sure you have some skills with a wrench before undertaking a project like this: doing it wrong could easily destroy your engine.

We'll have a full step-by-step in a future issue of the magazine, but here's the sneak preview featuring Sexton doing the upgrade to our 2007 Project Legacy GT with an AVO 420 turbo. The new AVO unit is bigger and badder (in a good way) than the Blouch 18G we've been running for the past year. That turbo was great, but for our tastes bigger is better. Of course, to support this larger turbo we'll also be doing a lot more under the hood, that's for certain. More to come!

Great job Sean! I alsways knew that you were a superstar!

Can't wait to see more! Keep it up.

"Kinda tight" ? I'm sure there's a proper torque spec for that.

It's "Blouch" not "Blousch" by the way.
