someone posted earlier cobb tunning, they make and excelent accessport tuner, however their maps are not optimized for the car and also for future mods. i suggest looking up a company called TDC tuning, www.tdctuning.com. by downloading information to a laptop through the port and sending them a file they can optimize a tuning mapp for you and they will continue to tweak it. it is not as good as a dyno but far better then cobbs stock maps.

also they have many thing available for the legacy in the after market realm. also if you haven't i would sign up at legacygt.com. one of the best forums for the legacy's. i signed up there and learned alot about the legacy because i was in the market to buy one however i pulled out and months later purchased something else. but these cars can be very fast for relatively small amounts of money.

Yeah, I agree about small amounts of $$ for a fast car. I mean, I don't need to go fast, as my drive to work is about 1.5 miles. But I do want something "extra" under the hood.

2 guys I work with have Legacy B4's with the twin turbo, so I'll be looking to them for advice, along with legacyGT.com for insight on what I can/can't do with it.

It was tough. I really like the Euro R styling (I think it is a lot better looking than a stock TSX), but the front wheel drive and 40 - 60 less HP are kind of sticking with me. Not that the Euro R would be a slow car here, I just was wondering what the best performance for the money range is (~$15-20K). and the Subaru was just a bit above.

And for those wondering, I could have tried for a Infiniti M35 (sold here as a Nissan Fuga), but a 2004 (your 2005 model) starts around $25K to $30K (Sport package w/ 19" wheels). Just a little too much at the moment. The Legend was about the same price for an 04'.
