Well, I'd look to pay anywhere from 6-10k for an 2.5RS depending on the mileage. Nice little cars. There was not a USDM Turbo Impreza back then, but there were JDM Turbo Imprezas. I know that turboing the EJ2.5, and even EJ2.2 and EJ1.8, can be done, but takes a lot of work and tuning, and without internal work, you're not going to get the power I think you're looking for. I've already looked down this road and I've turned the other way and I'm now back on the N/A path. If I wanted a turbo Subaru, I'd get a WRX instead of turboing a car that can't handle that much pressure. As far as modding for N/A, I'd go with Rallitek's Intake. I love mine. Then a nice catback exhaust. Personally, I'd look at going N/A for the time being. Going turbo is going to kill you on insurance. The 2.5RS is already a 5 Speed Sport Coupe.
