Get a US WRX "complete engine"(turbo, intercooler, wiring harness-uncut, ecu, fuel pump controller, up-pipe, down-pipe, etc), upgraded clutch, etc.

you might have better luck in the "aftermarket forced induction" forum.
if you want a kit you can get the AVO turbo kit but it won't be very reliable and you'd be better off with an engine swap anyway.

Another vote for the swap.

buy WRX engine + sell your 2.5 to make up for the cost = teh win!!!one111
You might want to go to the conversions forum, and look for this thread there in the near future...

Either sell your car and buy an 02 WRX or get a nitrous kit.

if you want to go forced induction, the guys are right. get a wrx motor. ALTHOUGH, if you simply want the power of a turbo, with more reliability than an aftermarket turbo setup, a nasty set of heads and some engine management will run about the same $$ as the turbo kit, and alot cheaper than doing an engine swap, and will be reliable as stock. I've had no motor issues in the three months I've had my TWE stage II heads, and the only issue I had was the old, tired stock tranny couldn't hold 2nd gear together.
