Found that over at ft86 Club. I can't wait until the post some dyno stats as well as how it actually is for a daily driver.

Gonna work on the XV?

Unlikely. Considering the application of the FB motor, the con-rods, pistons, rest of internals, etc aren't going to take boost very happily.

And the asymmetrical connecting rods (I think the FB20 has them too, I know for sure the FB25 has them) don't look like the kind of internals meant for forced-induction:

Good info. Does that mean the turbo Crosstrek available overseas has almost completely different internals than the N/A one?

The turbo diesel XV is an entirely different engine block, the Subaru EE engine. It's a turbo-diesel-specific application, so yes, completely different, and much more stout than FB and non-turbo EJ motors.

Ahh, I see. I am a huge car enthusiast but when it comes to the mechanics I am pretty uninformed. I wish i had more time to learn about it all.

Thanks!
