I can't even hear the clock - never mind the turbo. What a class motor.

It's probably a good idea to address all the suggestions people have posted in this thread as a matter of course as a new owner, but it's bound to feel underpowered compared to your Legacy. I'd seriously consider fitting the Synergy 2 as it's a significant power hike for not a lot of money and no severe detriment to fuel economy even if you feel compelled to use the power. My experience is that my fathers 115 CDT tourer, whilst smooth and lovely to drive, felt slow compared to my old 150bhp 2.0 V6 75 - which vice versa then felt like a rocket compared to the CDT. Conversely, I owned my 75 V6 and ZT CDTi 135 with Synergy 2 concurrently for about a month, and the ZT felt much quicker thanks to the power at low revs, though does lack the lovely smoothness at high revs of the petrol car - this is fairly irrelevant in day to day driving though. But great testament to what a huge difference the Synergy makes to the diesel engines in these cars!
