EJ20 11-23-2003, 01:44 AM let's see, you will need: new crossmember, headers, uppipe, downpipe, turbo, relocate the intake(good luck with MAF) intercooler and maybe you will be able to run max 8psi with good tuning, and shortly after that you might blow your engine up because of the compression rate and internal strength. you want to turrbo your car, buy the whole engine, you are better off that way, and might even be cheaper too. ej205 engine is pretty cheap.

The 02 is not MAF, and a crossmember is not necessary with some fancy pipe work. 6-7 psi is plenty to school basic bolt on WRX's. I remember someone with a Legacy who, at I think 8 psi on a basic kit, made about 270 whp and 280 wtq. The 2.5 is nothing to sneeze at. vBulletin®, Copyright ©2009, Jelsoft Enterprises Ltd.
