Welcome! Why not just pick up a 2007 wrx if you wanted a turbo?

Ive had this car for some time now. I know the ins and outs and know exactly how this car has been maintained and kept up. I feel more comfortable building this car up and doing what I want verses buying a wrx that has been abused (not saying all are) Plus, I like proving people wrong when people say you cant do it. Ive talked to a few people with turbo'd 2.5i and I have a very good tuner Ill be going to. It should be a fun project. |

Theres a couple different setups that are for sale, but I chose to build my own. Im in the process of building it now. Yes, i will need all that good stuff Im pretty much complete with my setup. I just need my injectors,and my fuel pump. I have the turbo,the front mount, header, down pipe, up pipe, fuel pressure regulator, boost controller, blow off valve, sti front crossmember, and everything else needed. After everythings all done, the cars getting trailered down to CT to EFI for a tune |

without forged internals you will be very limited in the forced induction aspect of your build. I'd say E85/meth it and call it a day. Your car is way too beautiful to sink a ****-ton of money into it just to have the beast throw a rod one day.
IMO I'd try and find a donor WRX that has been totaled (preferably from the rear ) and swap the drivetrains. Much less headache. If you ever mess up or go crazy with your transplanted build, you will always have your well taken care-of 2.5i drivetrain to fall back on. Beautiful, beautiful pristine example of a 2.5i... keep it that way! |

I used to think the hawkeyes looked kinda weird, but I love yours. Kinda wish I got one instead of my '12 wrx
