Yes main problem is the turbo is missing.

I changed my turbo for one of the 150 bhp Sports Hawkeye early 2006 and still miss it.

Biggest problem is 8 years and 75k miles later it is still reliable and I have no excuse to change it yet. Just does not go wrong apart from a leaking Blue Subaru oil filter late 2013 but that was an easy fix.

The other problem was with the self leveling headlamp sensors and headlight washers but your car will not have those as they did not fit the fancy headlamps to the GX.

A set of winters is a good investment here in Aberdeenshire.
