Is the hood scoop on the turbocharged Subaru Legacy (Sport Sedan/Touring Wagon) functional?
I was wondering this since I have read from some sources that the SOHC turbocharged EJ22 (exclusive to the North American market) does not have an intercooler. Subaru hood scoops on turbocharged models have always been used to redirect air to a top mounted intercooler. However, with the Legacy Sport Sedan/Touring Wagon lacking an intercooler, this leads me to believe it may either be for another purpose or simply cosmetic. So what the heck is the hood scoop for? It surely can’t be used for a nonexistant intercooler. Is it for the air intake? Additional miscellaneous cooling?
Don’t quote me on this because I can’t really find any sources right now but I’m almost positive that the early 90′s turbo Legacy’s here had a top mounted inter cooler. I can picture it in my mind. The model before that , which was not offered here in the US, had a air to water inter cooler and did not have the hood scoop. But yes the US models had a functional scoop I am very sure.
