Much that I hate to say it I have to agree with the Big E on this, I started with a 2002 bugeye WRX which I upgraded to 370 bhp on the std box and engine - extra costs over getting the same power on an sti was around £2k as I needed a turbo swap, Intercooler, injectors, better brakes which would not have been needed on an STI. Then the engine let go as the WRX is not as strong as and STI! So add in new engine & gearbox that's another £6k or so...... If I was to do it again I'd have left the WRX at 270 on the 'stage 1' kit then changed it for a widetrack blob STI!
