B4 = Twin turbo and probably 6spd manual vs single turbo and 5spd manual of the GT

they don't offer STI package in Legacy so B4 is top of the line model in the Legacy lineup

so far no B4 yet here, the engine spec cannot passed the emissions, it's a 2.0 liter with twin turbo

it's very hard to have twin turbo car these days as emissions is getting tigher and tigher

but they will have the 300hp STI engine in the Legacy thou, coming on the way soon

the legacy already has the STI engine. well about 95% of it. a simple tune, up pipe (sti or other) and down pipe and it will be a drivers race with an STI. some people swap out the intake manifold of the legacy to run diff turbos other then oem subie stuff. the legacy one is plastic. the sti has a better tranny for launching. the legacy is more stable at higher speeds. much more aerodynamic, but going 100+ on public roads is not the best idea. they use a twin turbo 2.0 because they can't use the 2.5 because its over the max engine size for rally racing. if they could use the 2.5 they would and they would twin turbo the crap out of it.

only thing they offer new in 06 is nav and a spec b package. comes in silver with read interior. 18s, diff springs and shocks. same engine. the wrx is getting the 2.5 ening now rated at about 230 /230. im hoping its not just a further de tuned version of sti engine. it would suck if just an ecu tune would have them faster the legacies.
