I owned a WRX which I had tuned to over 300 HP. Great car, but the AWD system is probably the biggest part of what makes it great - allowing throttle steering in turns and hard launches. The engineering of the engine though simply does not compare to Porsche's products. Porsches are designed to be sports cars. The WRX is not designed to be as highly tuned - the fact that you can tune them for more power just shows this. You can't get much more power out of the Porsche engines simply because they're already designed for great performance from the factory.
I would NEVER dream of dropping a WRX engine my Boxster. A 3.4 or 3.6 L sure, but a WRX engine would cost MORE and give you LESS.
