Q: Hi I have a question about an engine swap 1995 Subaru Legacy

asked by on February 08, 2017

Its more of a question of what can a specific engine do. I was hoping to find out if a 1999 porsche boxster engine can handle high boost? Say if I wanted to do an engine swap and attach a big turbo. Also would this be a good choice to put in a 1995 subaru liberty/legacy
