Default Thinking of buying a Scooby..

My ex had a JDM WRX and I loved it to bits, it was a dream to work on and I was impressed with the performance... I really fancy buying a scooby for myself but I'm dubious about buying an Import as there is a high chance its been clocked and the history could be dubious, plus I feel we get ripped off!

I've been looking at 1998+ UK Turbo 2000's which seem to be starting around the £3k mark up to £4.5k for a minter, question is what are the differences engine wise to the WRX? I assume its mainly down to the Turbo, Injectors and Fuel map?

Cheers!
