there has been a few single turbo and twin turbo conversions done on outbacks before.
dont imagine it would be any different to doing a conversion on a lib etc.

conversion meaning an engine swap...

I've heard of people turboing a non-turbo EJ25 block before but encountering pretty bad mechanical problems afterwards. It really needs to be custom rebuilt with stronger components, lower compression etc - better to do an engine swap for a turbo one.
