those subie engines can be modded to ridiculous hp. One of the drafters at my job has a 2004 WRX STi. He hooked up with a tuner in Oceanside, and got and different subie engine, that is bored out with a bigger turbo and larger intercooler. He puts 400 hp to the wheels, and his tuning is "mild" (it cost 20 grand tho
). The guy who owns the shop races STi's and has 2 that put 600 hp to the wheels.
This is using a 2.5l engine!! The guy at my office's engine is bored out to 2.65l. He is very actice on the Subie forums and he has told me several times that there some posters who talk about dropping the subie motor in boxsters. I dont know if it has been done yet tho.
I bet when all is said and done tho, you will have spent what a 3.4 or 3.6 or 3.8l carrera engine swap would cost. Not to mention that the Porsche gods would strike you dead with fireballs from hell.
As you would deserve, BTW. :troll:
