Ok i'm looking to mod the 2.5 rs . I was thinkin about turbocharging it. Would it be like the STI? I mean they're both 2.5 ltr motors? I mean shit its the cheapest way i can think of instead of spending 30 plus grand on an sti and still cheaper than the wrx. I dont know the cr difference on rs and the sti but i'm pretty sure its a nice set up if i get the turbo kits for them. Please tell me how much the kit goes for on the 2.5 rs. I'd like to hear everyones' opinions on this set up. Thanks :)

RS motor is is very different from the USDM STi motor.

Have to get new pistons, rods, and cam i would believe that could handle a decent amount of boost. I don't know much about the RS motors but i wouldn't think it would nearly be as good as the STi 2.5 since the WRX STi is the racing version of the impreza.

Thanks for the info. OF course i know the suspension is different and kinda got the idea on the motors. I just checked the FAQ and i'm pretty impressed with the infos. Thanks again :)
