I will try to get a couple pics of my Turbo 2.1 WBX up soon...Don't reallly
know where to put them...
I put the turbo where the coil was...A simple exhaust mod from the J pipe up
to the Subaru 1.6 turbo unit and then back down to the Cat.
Using the stock injection so far with the air box in its stock position I
ran the intake pipe fron the air box to teh turbo across the top of the eng
and teh pressure side rearwards and over and under the air filter to the
throttle body. Oil pressure from the high press switch port and drain down
to the oil filler tube.
 Running 5 PSI of boost I figure about an extra 30HP..Adam Lengyuel said it
drives like a 2.2 subie for reference..Got 500 miles or so on it as I have
been too busy to actually tidy things up and finish the fuel mixture
tweaks...More to follow...but so far I am very happy with it all...

I'm now in the mood to change out the old chevy v-6 and put the stock
wasserboxer back in the van, with a catch... I'm going to be
turbocharging it. >:D
The turbo is from a civic.  I will be using the extra oil cooler I
picked up for my rx7, and an air/water intercooler(another oil cooler
from the rx7) so as not to lose ground clearance.

If anyone in the md, va, pa area wants to donate some time to help, it
would be appreciated(if you can, I don't really need the help, but
it's always more fun with more people. :) )

anyways, pics are online at:
