Default bugeye turbo converted to a gx ?!

Ok is this just a really crapy lie or has this dude actually converted a wrx into a gx?

I think i've seen this Subaru on SN before. Anyone know if it's anyones off here?

here's the Pistonheads advert..
Subaru : impreza gx awd wrx lookalike white rare px/swap

He's obviously touched, his advert spelling & sentence construction makes little sense. I would guess it was a WRX, but had a GX engine swap.

He claims it started life as a wrx turbo and someone then fitted a gx engine and changed the logbook.. apparently it only takes 'a few pipes and intercooler etc to have it as a turbo not a hard job'

hahaaaha.

I agree nothing wrong at all with the GX - it looks in the ad., just a bit of a dubious record
