    Yes, there were twin turbo Legacies, but I thought they were phased out by the mid 90's when turbo technologies improved. I seem to remember hearing internet rumours about them being a bit unreliable, though; which was another reason for moving to a single turbo solution.

    I've seen the twin turbo engines for sale before but never knew what they were put in.

    I'd like to see a better pic of the engine bay because I don't see a hood scoop.

    Yea the engine cover doesn't seem stockish on that engine. Could be trying to pull a fast one on someone not local or unaware.

    Also, fitting both turbos is a royal PITA in a LHD car.

    It could be legit, but something is fishy there

    Good point. Being in RHD-land I forget about those kinds of details.
