Default What block does a newage wrx have?

Hi all,

Looking for my next scoob, ideally another newage STI.

However theres a few WRX's about with forged engines that look quite nice.

What block do they use standard? are they still safe to run up to 400ish? (assuming it has supporting mods and box change of course)

Depends what block they used when it was rebuilt.

I used a SCDB when I did my forged 2.1 conversion in my WRX.
