True! I think I sold Jeff my old WRX intercooler for like 25 bucks?
I'm actually not sure how easy it is. The RS 2.5L engine is pretty similar to the WRX / STi, minus the compression needed to run a lot of boost... I think.
Most people just end up doing a WRX or STi swap because the logistics of it are way easier. Shoot Jack, with just some great tires, sways, springs, and intake and exhaust work you'd probably have a noticeably more fun car to drive 8)
