See first paragraph of post #4 of the below thread:-

It's a resounding YES!

 

sounds pretty definitive, if anybody disagrees please let me know why

thanks joz

 

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...

 

cool, all i need now is an engine!

 

just went a brought an ej205, i hope ya right matey

hopefully back on the road by next week end

 

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.

 

its done!

all good!

 

Phew! I thought you'd 'ave my guts for garters lol
