regardless if it was in the project plan or not.. I cannot wait 3-4yrs for one.

That stupid blog was confusing old EJ. Meaning the EJseries in the current WRX and STI which had mid-high firewall mounted turbo.

The current 2010+ Legacy GT and future turbo Subaru vehicles will have a bottom front mounted turbo. Also being able to fit in the BRZ because the radiator is slanted well enough for clearance, and even with the low ride height the turbo only takes like 1" more away from ground clearance.
