Its not that straight with too many things needing changing or upgrading.

But the biggies are :-

Engine, gearbox, rear diff, ecu, loom, brakes and suspension.

Click on this link to see what's involved :-

My Impreza Brighton 1.8T - RS Club

It's 20 pages so is doable but a hell of a lot of work.

This thread tells more :-

If you fit a turbo your insurance would end up the same as a WRX or worse as it's then a modded car & not a standard one.
