Nice S/N

Here we go now: The Impreza 2.5RS has no turbo in it. It is a naturally aspirated vehicle from Subaru that has 165 hp generated by a 2.5 liter non-turbo engine (the EJ25). There are no stock 2.5RS's with a turbo in the US (although some Legacies in Japan have a twin-turbo EJ25). The WRX in America is only available in the new body and chassis (called the GD series, the older Imprezas were the GC series). The WRX has a 2 liter intercooled turbo engine (EJ20) that generates 227 hp in the US. Any more questions, feel free to ask! Hope you win those arguments

Aftermarket Turbo Kits

There are, though, aftermarket turbo kits that you can but for a 2.5 rs to make it turbo-charged. The only other turbo imprezzas before the GD body style were the RA's (for england with the adjustable drivetrain) and a couple that got shipped to Japan. They never give us the good stuff.
