Talking Forrester or RS Liberty????

Well, its time for me to sell my current ride and move up to the turbo category. However, besides my new ride being a subaru (ive decided that much already), i am tossing up on weather to get a forrester GT / XT or an old RS Liberty Wagon. Obviously it isnt going to stay standard for long. Any help on finalising my decision from all you turbo nuts wud be very much appreciated!

Yeah, You know I want you to get an RS!

didnt the forrester Gt come standard with a tiny little turbo (TF035 - smaller than WRX td04) put in for low down towing grunt rather than top end power?

My JDM Legacy GT came with a VF8 turbo
Aus Delivered Liberty RS came with a VF12
Gen 2 Twin Turbos use a vf13/vf14 combo I believe

Vf8 is the biggest but only slightly bigger (almost negliable) than the Aus RS vf12
Vf13/14 is tiny and complicated. Lots of Gen2 TT owners upgrade to a single turbo setup.

Get a Liberty with a conversion perhaps?

Usually got later year running gear in them, thats always a bonus.

Do it right and theres no issue, maybe even cheaper because its not classed the same as a rs...
