I'm pretty sure the turbo will be different for the sti engine. It has a VF range IHI turbo where the WRX might not, maybe a TD04/5? It might not go properly and definitely will need remapped!

If your going to stick with the td04 then wouldn't it be cheaper to fit another wrx engine, as above an sti would be better in the long run if you plan to go for more power,

I've got a choice to make a wrx engine rebuild for £1800 with a warranty on engine or a jdm sti engine being put in for the same money. What would you go for
