I bought this car about four years ago with the intention of being a DD. It was a NA 2.5 with an automatic. Well that didn't last long!!!!
The first swap 2.0 WRX swap and tranny which was fun for a few months
The second swap: STI 2.5 SB with 2.0 WRX heads with a VF43
Replaced turbo with a VF48 PnP with EWG
Currently sits:
Replaced turbo with a Six Star Speed 20G
*loss of power? We are speculating the heads are going bad. Perfect excuse to do swap #3...
