Yes you should be able to. We flew in Clark Turner from AZ out to Dallas last weekend and there were a few 18g 2.5L WRXs there. Our gas is better but I think it will be possible if done right.

did not cross my mind at the time.. i was just concerned with how much to install and what i would need. not till i got home did i think of how much power i would get. im choosing it because i dont want to upgrade to front mount and i want something better than stock. i dont really care about numbers i was just curious
In all honesty, I wouldn't bother with an 18G on a 2.5L. I'd either go VF39 or step up to a 20G.
Properly tuned on an 'average' reading dyno 300whp shouldn't be a problem, on GSTs dyno which I think is Gruppe-s' old mustang dyno, I seriously doubt you'll hit it on their dyno.

You need an FP Green to break 300whp on that dyno.
you need an fp green? i disagree...... i have a 20g.... ( i know , not 18g ) and i made 310 on gst's with an injector leak, boost leak, too small of a maf housing , and my crappy stock bcs....... so i believe its possible....
Ah, interesting. Breaking 300 is tough on that dyno.
