IMHO:

Call David at www.apiengines.com and talk to him. He is a no Bullsh!t zone and dead honest.
They do about 10 Impreza engines a WEEK!

A 2,5 engine base is about £1300 at best, and the conversion costs will be that again as your turbo etc will be badly matched.
Insurance could be a real issue too.

Speak to David and his advice will help considerably.
You do not have to take the car there, he can sort a package to suit.
Tell him '911' sent you..(he won't swear at you, maybe me though!)

TBH the EJ25 in a 95 WRX isn't bad using all standard stuff. Just needs a remap. TD05 and a 2.5 Litre suits it well.
