Hello guys, 

I am new here and I own a 2005 Impreza 2.5RS Sport. 128k miles. Unfortunately the car is an automatic.

I want to get an 05 sti front clip w/ motor, trans, and subframe.

From what I have gathered to do a swap I would need...

Sti sub frame 

Sti dohc motor

Manual trans

Linkages

Ecm 

Harness

Hood

Am I missing anything?

What is the deal with swapping the subframe? Would I be better off in price comparison with keeping the sohc motor, my subframe, and just turbocharging it? I do have a daily driver so this is my project. 

Any ideas or help would be greatly appreciated.

Wotcha and welcome - looks like you have the full list of items there, may be missing a couple of sensors that the new loom would attach to.

WRT the adding turbo to existing setup you would need to check your piston setup, compression ratio etc as I believe the NA engines run higher compression. A turbo block will have all that correct from the start

Looking at some of the parts for sale in the US (quite jealous) why not keep it NA but drop a 6 pot in there from an Alcyone (SVX)? form there you could ad a raptor supercharge kit - bolt on instant 300+ bhp?
