I always fancied building an EZ36 Outback for these reasons (with an aftermarket Turbo kit obviously)
Only 200cc more than a 2.5 flat 4 though, and while the EZ36 is nearly as compact as the Subaru flat 4 it's not as compact. In the time-honoured tradition of firing the moneygun at any issue, I'd just fit a Cosworth 2.5 4 pot and boost the fuck out of it. The handling of any Subaru 4WD platform is (in my experience) so boringly competent that epic and unpredictable turbo lag could only spice up the driving experience.
Brommers-
I dunno, my hypothetical EZ36 turbo Outback isn't really the sort of thing i would be looking for entertaining track handling from. Having said that i do quite like the handling of our impreza, Scandinavian flicks for days on the gravel roads here.
The MCM EZ36 turbo Legacy makes 300kw (or 400hp) without anything special on it really.
Also 2.5 to 3.6L is a touch more than 200cc no?
