Well I'm not too sure how much money i want to throw around, i was thinking that i would do my homework before do any definite budgeting for it.
As far as the Engine goes, I was hoping to do a fatoried turbo since it would be much cheaper than buying an engine AND an aftermarket turbo, I was talking to a "parts specialist" that works at the capitol Subaru dealership and that goes to the qym I hit up on the off-season of school, and he was telling me that an EJ20T would probably be the best route.
This Subaru specialist was telling me that the EJ25 owns the "land AND speed" record by running 100K miles for 100mph before having any problems. That alone really makes me love the idea of puting a 2.5 litre in there but, getting an aftermarket turbo just seems like it would be a pain in the butt...
and yes Subiekid I can weld i've probably spent more time with a welder than i have driving my car
