I totally love the 2.5 RS! Just a few minor things i need to do. New brakes, a bigger rear sway bar, and tinted windows (the sun is hot at a mile high above sea level). Then I'll move on from there.

There will be no swaps!!! Atleast not anytime soon, I promised my wife already!!! That was one stipulation when purchasing the car!

Don't the WRX and the STi's have 2.0 Liters? I could be wrong because I'm greener then green when it comes to Subies, but I think it's only a 2.0.

The USDM STi has a 2.5 liter. Basically, Subaru uses two blocks, the 2.5 and 2.0, so yeah you could just turbo the 2.5 and get up to the STi's power level. With the swap you can get the DCCD drivetrain and the LSD's for the front axle.
