I know two folks with them in thier wrxs, none on an RS...nice looking kits.
A wrx 2.0L swap will possibly be cheaper and definitly has more potential than a turbo RS setup. Anything higher than 6lbs boost is unreliable on an NA motor, IMO.

no..the RS has a differnt block , the STI/Forester has a ej257 engine code.

EJ257 in an RS body is the ultimate swap IMO, you have a light body with a torquey, high HP potential turboed engine rolled into one..will easily beat a USDM STi hands down with the Power/weight potential
