I can either build a 2.5l of use an OEM short block.

Or use the OEM STi HG, keep the high compression to get a better low end and make sure your tuner is a good one so he can tune the car for the high compression rate rather then relying on a headgasket.

But then again thats just my opinion from researching and talking to different tuners.

02 wrx w/ sti OEM 2.5L shorty. installed and tuned by GST motorsports.
