a complete wrx car into a uk turbo ? might be a tight squeeze

or some parts from a wrx ?

and there are different wrx's, and different uk turbos''' what ages of cars are we talking ?
All 2001+ UK cars were called wrx's

sorry about being bit vague! car is a uk 98 turbo! engine is same age but a wrx! the parts are block (with heads and crank etc), turbo and ancillliaries! i was told that it would be direct swap! even the ecu would be a plug and play!
info was from mckeevers

Should be more or less a straight swap....but there really wont be any big gains to be had, over simply fixing your own engine.
