Engine/Power - non turbo (All non turbo Imprezas) Who needs a turbo when you have 2500cc? Cams, intakes, exhausts, etc. The 2.2L and 1.8L Subies are cool too.

well if its a dual port and not a single port there shouldn't be a problem. then comes tuning it for the ecu you MIGHT need a stand alone maybe im not sure just cuz your ecu is made for a sohc.
