People experience a bit of lag in the 22 in it's stock form due to it having the largest exhaust housing in the IHI lineup. Do a nice P&P (which removes a LOT of material) and a good tune and you can have the 22 full boosted very few hundred RPM after a 30/34 is fully boosted.. and with a couple of more pounds of boost.

How much more power will I get out of the WRX Wagon?

Furthermore, what kind of effects will I have on my Wagon?

I'm expecting low gas milage, accel faster, faster engine depreciation?

Also, where to find the turbo and where can i get infos on WRX turbos and upgrades?

Sorry, but I'm a novice to all this stuff.. well for the upgradables of WRX.

Well all that depends on your existing mods and what you plan to put into it.

To find the turbo hit up one the local mod shops like MPJ or another of your preference.

Gas milage wont go down terribly unless the added horsepower gives you a lead foot too.

If you want an idea what these new turbos (assuming you have money and proper mods) can do check out cobb tunning and perin for their stage systems. Read up and you can see what a properly tuned system from minor mods to full on heavy modification can do.

A good machine shop will do it for you. I'm not going to quote prices.

Generally turbos are sold unmodified.

I suppose MPJ or another performance tuner could do it for you as well

vf22 = 400 dollars, 600 if you wanna a new one
upgrade to 1820 = 300
10 degree clip = 45

Laggy as hell, but there's your cheapo hi horsepower turbo right there! Getting the turbo clipped is one of the most common upgrades for most other turbo cars, esp. MR2's, DSM's, I'm surprised wrx's don't do it more often.
