400+HP 1990 Subaru Legacy wagon ?
This is what I'm planning to do in the upcoming months. I need help and suggestions about like, what year sti motor I should purchase ? What exhaust ? What would be the best bov ? What performance shop could do the swap an build for me ? and etc. Just any hints and clues would be fantastic! I really am busting my behind to earn the money and get this project going.
Thanks TR.

You're in for a rude awakening when you find what its going to cost to achieve that power. Motor, tranny that can hold that power, turbo, wireharness-ecu, clutch, supporting mods. You're looking at at least 10k and that's if you were to do the work, if you have a shop do it then add on another huge chunk of change.
has a new plan in action

Probably the best thing to do is first pick your blow off valve then design you build around that...

Pick up a used STI block... somewhere.
Try NASIOC, but asking questions like this on there will get you eaten alive.

You can do it for under 10k. That is if you can do even a few things by yourself. But dont try to go out of your capabilities
