It seems that the car places around me only seem to stock 15w/50 Mobil 1 anywhere near that spec would I be able to use this instead of 10w/50 or would it be to thick?

15W is probably okay as its extra thickness when cold helps "fill the gaps" 'and maintain good pressure/lubrication 'twixt bores and pistons.
Your STi has forged pistons see, which, when cold, are slightly contracted, leaving a tad more clearance than when they are up to temp and fully expanded... By which time the 50 "hot" weight will be pressed into action anyway.
