I believe they are a 2.0 2 Stage Twin Turbo, Engines pretty much the same as an Impreza, but more fun cos of the additional turbo

Worth trying out these guys: www.japperfomance.co.uk - Performance Car Importers

1994 Twin turbo's were 240bhp, 1996 on were 280bhp. Most parts are similar to the Impreza, parts related to the twin turbo arrangement are a bit harder to source but there are a few specialist who can find bits. Worst case is import bits from Japan yourself - I had to do this with an uppipe as no-one in the uk stocks or makes them.
Group 20 insurance but lots of fun, even managed close to 30 mpg in mine.
Done 25,000 miles in the last 2.5 years and no real problems - bar the uppipe.

Better info over at UK Legacy Forums

p.s. lag between the 2 turbo's takes some getting used to..
