Default question
how much work is involved in turning a T2000 into a wrx. is it a big job to do a conversion or is it a case of loom, ECU and lump swap?

thanks

Ummm why would do that as the turbo 2000 and wrx are very similar cars in the first place.

Rubbish
The differences between the standard wrx (not STI or RA versions) and uk turbo in performance are neglible.
Top end is virtually the same although the JDM acceleration is better imo.

Damn you use the smilies then

I think the wrx is more frenetic because of the closer gear ratios
