As it is an import could it be that the car has not been re-mapped for UK fuel. JAP fuel is 100 RON our super unleaded is 97 to 99 RON. So it could be detecting det and cutting back to save the engine.

If no cel light is showing it's worth cleaning the boost solenoid hoses & check the ends of the coil packs aren't cracking up under the boots. When were the plugs last changed?

Speak to the guy who sold it to you and ask for a recipt on who mapped it (and how they did it).
Or find a good rolling road (preferably someone who has experience in imprezas) and pay £50 to see what is actually happening (after you check the plugs/coilpacks as you can do that )

Yes, CEL = check engine
how does is behave under 5k rpm? how does it drive off-boost?
it may be a fuel pump which cannot supply enough fuel under boost and high rpms
it may be coil packs which cannot supply current enough for a good bang
it may be mass airflow sensor dead, but in that case the car would drive like rough and spluttering at any rpms and off-boost also
i wouldn't put my money on exhaust or intake though

Even though the CEL isn't lit it maybe worth checking for error codes as you can do it yourself as the classic impreza has test connectors under the dash (they can be a bugger to find though as they may be taped up

normally it drives totally fine boots perfectly and holds it but when i floor it it just chokes 5 to 6 rpm and struggles i cant seem to break 80 mph either as its choking and i dont want to try power through it however the CEL has come on twice i think but gone off again within a minute
