You will need to have the whole WRX wiring loom as almost non of it will be the same. This includes the ECU.

i have the ecu.i thought if i could modify my 1600 wiring loom with more cables to fit wrx ecu.i already have the wiring loom of the intake manifold.can i connect the 1600 wiring loom with the wrx engine wiring and put extra cables for extra sensors?

As crew said, you will need a full wrx wiring loom, if you are doing a full wrx conversion (total car), its not worth the hassle, just buy a wrx, its much cheaper as you will be replacing virtually all the parts

it's difficult for me to buy a total car because it's very expensive here in greece and i am trying to colect the parts one by one.
also here in greece the cars are left hand drive and i can't put wiring loom from uk car...

if i find something cheap from uk,maybe i buy it,and modify the wiring

Good luck with it, but I've also heard you'd be much better off swapping the whole loom from the/a donor car, rather than trying to splice into the existing loom. What model year is your car?

Would it not be simpler to use the 1.6 turbo kits available from the Subaru dealers in Greece? They should bolt on and probably do use the existing loom somehow. I think they get 180bhp from the 1.6 so not too much less than the early 2.0 turbos.

I have the 180 ps version but it is not engouh.the 180 ps are in the papers , but in reallyti is 145ps.the Greek engineer who made is the worst here and the tuned 1600 have many many problems.now Im gona do it 2000 and the only problem is the wiring
