Welcome. First thing you need to learn is where the search button is as this has been asked a few times before.
The short answer is that it'll be more cost-effective to just buy and insure a WRX than it will be to pay for the parts, labour and insurance for the option you're considering.

Splitpin has already said it, your shell is similar and thats about it, you would be replacing the rest of the car, hence its easier and much cheaper to just buy a wrx.

without labour?! most of your money is going to be spent on labour. it is a huge job. basically strip the car to a bare shell, replace the wiring loom. engine. ecu. gearbox. turbo. intercooler. brakes. suspension, the full lot! probably cost you the best part of £3k-£6k (if you dont have any problems!) bugeye wrx's are fetching about £5K-£6, classics can be had for even less!!!!!

not worth it at all.. your going to end up spending so much money on it and when it comes to selling it your going to be well out of pocket!
imo, stay well away from a turbo conversion mate.
