TurboXS will be releasing their External Wastegate Uppipe very soon, and the rotated mount adapter as well. Plus, they have a downpipe for that rotated setup that will be a sung, but workable fit for the Legacy.
And what kind of flanges will this setup have? Just curious

Ahh, glad you asked!
The EWG uppipe has an OE flange. So you can run a stock location turbo with an EWG.
That's badass isn't it?
There's more.
The Rotated adapter pipe is an S shaped pipe with an OEM flange on the bottom, and a T3 4-bolt flange on the top. That's even cooler, isn't it?
Here's yet another kicker.
The kit on Edwins car, is the same kit for the WRX.
What does that mean?
Wanna go rotated mount? There's a kit that is almost a direct bolt on.
Obviously, slight hood clearance is an issue with our lower hood line, but otherwise, it's awesome.
Know what else? TurboXS also has a downpipe for the rotated kit. And even better? One of them is also on Edwin's car!

So its an adapter that bolts onto a factory fitting uppipe? Thats pretty dope.
Depending on a few things, I may want to try it down the road.

Nice work sir!
Are you still running a MAF setup? Looks like a black N/A MAF? Do you max it out?

Ummm. Thats just plain sick.
Also if he would like to make a donation to my fund please let me know. Since trivial things like money aren't important to him, lol.

FWIW the Ultimate Racing external gate uppipe setup went on my Legacy SS without any modding so I'd expect other stock wrx fitting ones to work as well.
