If its an open deck engine (which I assume it is), you probably don't want to go over 7 PSI.

If you really want a cheap fast Subaru, look at the old turbo legacy's (*if* you can find them, that is). Its a 2.2L, but it has a closed deck and forged internals and stuff. The bottom of those engines seem almost bulletproof. A friend of mine has his Legacy Turbo wagon well over 250hp (with upgraded piping, turbo and intercooler).

Few pics of the Legacy Turbo:
