Yes... JDM uses equal length (awesome!) headers.
UK would need:
Panel filter
Appropriate turbo
Remap
Decat / Sports catted system
Injectors - or standard pinks will get you just shy of this figure
Standard TMIC will just suffice at this level
You may need to get the oem cast headers / up-pipe ported.... not too up on the UK set-ups and what is achievable.
I think you'd struggle to get 400ftlb on a UK 2ltr, assuming you look at using a 400bhp turbo.

A JDM should be no harder to insure than a UK car.... you just need to know the right brokers to use. Keith Michaels on here is well recommended (see their detail in the Insurance Section). That's who I and many others use.
As far as I know the JDM engines are "just better" with better heads and valvetrain. You also have the "better" twinscroll headers. All this provides a better base for greater torque.
UK engines rev to 7k whereas the JDM's rev past 8k.

Ive been quoted around the £6k mark for upgrades for my 2005 sti to reach 380BHP, by Roger Clark Motorsport, I guess you could achieve bigger figures for less money but i believe you get what you pay for.Nice to know peoples thoughts though as the thoughts crossed my mind to sell mine and go for a spec c, theres not a lot about though!!!

Depends if you do your own spannering, where you take it, new or used parts etc etc.
I'm going to buy used parts as I always have, fit them myself then get it mapped by a reputable mapper, I would hope to achieve 380 for around 1200 at the most.

Best thing to do would be make a shopping list then price all the bits you want, then get a price for fitting and mapping, or ring somewhere with a good rep and get a package price off them, there always seem to be a known specialist not too far away from most parts of uk.
If you're not doing the work yourself I would find out who can be trusted with your car within a distance you're willing to travel and give them a shout.
