20Rex05, I agree with SPT.WRX.2K8. There is a wealth of knowledge and parts (new and used) on the legacy forum (4th gen). There is less shenanigans on that forum compared with this one. A lot of the basic knowledge about WRXs applies to LGTs.
There are a lot of complaints about the VF-40 turbo on 05-06. If you have any other questions, I am under the same handle there.
