Turbo for 2002 RS?
I have a 2002 RS and was thinking about putting a WRX Turbo kit on it. Does anyone know if that can be done? or has anyone done it? What does it take? How much does it cost?

you can turbo it and there are kits to do it. The WRX is not a kit for the 2.5 liter. Do some research for a turbo kit on an EJ25. WRX is EJ20 and turbo from the factory (not kitted).

I think he's talking about adding the WRX turbo parts to his RS...

I am looking at the stage 1 and 2. The only difference is Stage one does not have an intercooler. Does anyone know if you could get a STi or stock WRX intercooler instead and save some money?

Their stage II intercooler is a better fit and easier to install. Stick to that. Also, the stage II kit runs more boost and makes more power.

If it were me I'd go with the Ludespeed kit. It has high quality parts like a Garrett turbo and it's very complete, for instance it includes a pre-plumbed oil pan greatly easing installation.

Um, I HOPE it aint so....

But until then, I guess it's down to F.A.T. Vs. AVO for the available kits....
