Default 2001 SPORT WAGON, WHAT CAMBELT KIT??

Hi. I have a 2001 x reg classic subaru 1st shape sport wagon 125bhp ej201 engine gf8 chassis. Trying to order online a cambelt kit for it, and due to the 2001 change over year for body shape, the automatic find ure cambelt system doesn't work for it. Subaru increased the compression ratio a bit on these last classic Subaru to squueze a few more bhp (vrrrroooom), so do I order a 2000 cambelt kit or a cambelt kit for the new shape Subaru that was introduced in the same year. Any advice would be helpful, thanks.

the tensioner and rollers/pulleys look to be the same as a turbo model

Hi. Thanks for your replies. After looking & thinking, summing everything up & getting my head around cambelt kits / models / types / hp / etc etc ... I'm going for a 2000 sport wagon kit, although the kits for the later shape GX models may well have fitted as I'm sure they must have used the same engine. I hope I'm not tempting providence in saying this, but I've owned many makes of cars over the years ... saabs ... mercs ... alfa..volvo..and the Subaru has been the most reliable and strongest car I have had. The only problem I've had was the inner driveshaft rubber gaters (gearbox end) splitting 3 times .... for which the last time I wrapped a reinforced plastic bag around and around and secured it both ends ... and hay... it's still hanging on in there ...lol...poor subaru.
