I was hoping you guys would have any suggestions as to where I could take it to get said custom work done. Or if anyone knows of any way to get it on there without tons of custom work that would be awesome as well.

Thanks guys
Um, I wouldn't bother with the T35. You're going to need a custom up-pipe, down-pipe, probably turbo inlet, oil fittings, and coolant lines (is the T35 even water cooled?). Plus it'll have to be tuned from scratch, since I doubt there are any off the shelf maps for a turbo no one uses on Subarus. Also, on a turbo that big, you'll need new injectors, intercooler, intake, exhaust (assuming you're running a stock exhaust), and even then you'll be running below the turbo's sweet spot just to keep from blowing up the motor.

All in all, you're probably spending at least $2000-$3000 *more* than just replacing the turbo with the right one.
