Good advice needed! I've been looking into buying a Subaru for about a year now, but I want to make sure I find the right one. At first, I thought I would end up with an Impreza WRX. Eventually, I was planning to upgrade the turbo, exhaust system, some engine internals, short throw shifter, possibly suspension, intercooler, etc. Now I'm thinking, if I'm going to replace half the car why not start out with the cheapest/base level model. I began to look into the Impreza RS 2.5 SOHC. I understand an STi comes with a 2.5 DOHC, and I see the amazing difference in hp and boost. With all the upgrades, is it worth an engine swap for a DOHC??? Will the hp/boost be worth it? Are there any other details about the two models that would help me make my decision?
Somebody help out a poor lil white girl...
Thanks!!!
