wouldnt it be easier and cheaper to just sell it and buy a WRX?
id imagne the work involved in converting to 4wd would be immense, never mind the rest of it.

As above just sell and buy a turbo , not worth the major hassel and time trying to get a non turbo to turbo spec you would basically have to rebuild the whole car spending a fortune , and your car at the end would not be worth the same as a turbo . Waste of money in my eyes there are so many turbos to choose from .
