The "pat" in question in that thread is none other than mapper extraordinaire Mr Pat Herborn.

He's one of the most clued up specialists when it comes to Subaru hardware/the company's history, etc...

LOL, don't hold me responsible!

No, if your VIN plate's engine code is "EJ205..." then you'll be fine (which it defo will be for a 1999 UK Turbo 2000 AWD).

As said in that thread, the "EJ205..." is the NON-STi spec motor - i.e. WRX-grade internals/heads, etc. - for the JDM and RoW MY99/00 turbos.

The "EJ207..." is the STi spec one.
