It'll take a nice person to list everything out in detail for you. Did you do any research yourself? Why don't you check over on rs25.com at all?

talk to Gino at GB Motorsports in Hayward. he'll let you know if he can help you out or not, and he'll give you competitive rates for the job. there's almost nothing he can't do.

Save money and do a Sti swap, a 2.2l is gonna cost you out the *** money and getting a edu that will work right with your car

OK after looking at the supra you have the money haha

OK so what you need is an exhaust manifold and plubing

there was one JDM subaru that had a twin turbo set up i think. i forget im not even 75% sure

so the next route is get a 2.2T motor out of a 90-93 USDM turbo legacy. they are a little hard to find

next up is custom plumbing. exhaust intercooler coolant and oil.

as far as the ECU and wiring harness that depends on the heads either STi with the avcs or just wrx heads
