'06 Wrx Ej25-->'00-'01 Rs

This may be premature, but, after reading a review of the new '06 WRX, I am wondering what will be necessary to get an '00-'01 RS to perform like/better than the new WRX. The new WRX now comes with the 2.5l engine. Would it be the same as doing an STi swap? What can be done to the Phase II EJ25 in an RS to get it to the new WRX EJ25 capabilities? ie. an '06 WRX swap to an RS. or even '05 swap into an RS.

I think just swapping in an STI shortblock and a turbo kit and your in buisness baby!

About 7k, with a new clutch and new gearset about 10.5-11k I'd say, WooT!
