Hi im doing just that at the moment and yes the heads fit on but the 2.5 standard will only take 400BHP and with your 95 wrx you will have to get a other turbo because your standard one will only take you to about 340 bhp then a new ecu cos your one cant be maped and bigger injectors, 550 will take you to about 340-390 bhp
hope this helps

If you want a reliable 400 from the 2.5 you will need after market pistons
and the following.

550 injectors
After market FPR
A capable intercooler
Mapable ecu
Stainless headers would be good
Your gear box and clutch will need replacing
Heads will be fine with the correct gasket.

And some.

I think 550 inj will be close to maxed out @400?
